Field experiment was carried out at experimental field of Sorghum Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth (PDKV), Akola to identify the promising early lines and testers along with desirable grain yield in sorghum. Newly developed six cytoplasmic male sterile lines (CGMS) lines and eleven testers were crossed in line x tester fashion and the resultant 66 hybrids were evaluated along with the checks (CSH 35 for grain yield and CSH 14 for earliness) and parents for days to 50% flowering, days to maturity and grain yield per plant under combining ability analysis during Kharif 2015. | Identification of promising parents for grain yield and early maturity in Kharif sorghum Sorghum bicolor L.
