Forage Quality of 18 Glossy Sorghum Genotypes under Rainfed Conditions in Nuevo Leon, Mexico

摘要

In northeastern Mexico, forage production is very low due to drought. New sorghum cultivars resistant to drought and other abiotic and biotic stresses (Maiti and Bidinger 1979, Maiti et al. 1984, Maiti et al. 1994) are needed for this region. The association of glossy sorghum geimplasm with resistance to multiple stresses is well-documented (Maiti et al. 1984). Glossy sorghum lines showed good productivity of forage under rainfed conditions in Mexico (Maiti et al. 1994). This study presents the evaluation of the forage quality of some glossy sorghum genotypes.
