castaneum to some advanced sorghum genotypes viz; Hegari, F-114, J.S-2002, M.R.Sorghum-2011 and P.C-1 and to screen out the most resistant genotype against T.
On average basis, maximum adult emergence and frass weight were recorded in M.R.Sorghum-2011, while these were minimum in Hegari genotype.
The objective was to have a comparative assessment of different quantitative and qualitative (nutritional) losses incurred to five different sorghum genotypes, viz., Hegari, M.R.
MY name is Scott HegarI am 16 years old and I wborn and raised in CaeraCardiff.
Condensed tannin content of seven varieties of sorghum (White, Sandalbar, YS-98, JS-88, JS-263, JS-2002 and Hegari) found in Pakistan were determined and their effect on nutrient digestibility and absorption of minerals was investigated in White Leghorn Layers.
In Pakistan seven different varieties of sorghum (White, Sandalbar, YS-98, JS-88, JS-263, JS-2002 and Hegari) are cultivated (Saeed and Zaki, 2003) but none of these has ever been analyzed for its tannin contents.
All the selected parents and the hybrids (F1) were evaluated under control as well as under water stress for different forage quality parameters along with local varieties (Hegari and JS-2002) as standard for genetic analysis; evaluated in the field in Aug 2008 for forage quality components.
Hegari was raised to reap the benefits as animal fodder at seed rate of 75 kg ha-1 with recommended dose of N (62.5 kg ha-1).
(2012) reported that variety Hegari produced higher HCN content than the other varieties.
The genotypes Hegari, Noor, F-214, JS-2002, F-207, PC-1 and F-9917 were compared in randomized complete block design.
Taking a better variety in respect to dry matter and nutritional contents, the Hegari should be preferred over the tested varieties for forage purpose.
To determine if uncharacterized alleles at the established loci ([Ma.sub.1], [Ma.sub.2], [Ma.sub.3], or [Ma.sub.4]) are conditioning this phenotype or if the reponse is caused by uncharacterized loci, EBA-3 was hybridized with A3 male sterile versions of the milo maturity standards (SM100, SM90, SM80, 60M, 90M, 100M, Hegari, Early Hegari) (Quinby, 1974; Miller et al., 1999).
