 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2012-13 at research farm of Directorate of Sorghum Research, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The treatments comprised to screen the promising germplasm, advanced breeding lines and landraces to identify the new sources and traits associated with post flowering drought tolerance in sorghum. The crop was sown under well watered and water stress condition to examine the potential of Sorghum genotypes to adapt to the post flowering drought. Well watered  and water stress (two main treatments) conditions and 10 Sorghum genotypes viz; CRS 4, CRS 19, CRS 20, PEC 17, CSV 18, M 35-1, Phule chitra, Phule moulee, EP 57 and CRS 1. The experiment was laid out in split plot design and replicated thrice.). The chlorophyll, nitrogen and potassium content in the fully expanded third leaf from the top was also positively and significantly correlated with grain yield (r = 0.65, 0.51 and 0.72, respectively).

Key words: Chlorophyll content, Nitrogen content, Potassium content, Sorghum genotypes, Moisture stress conditions.
