| Abstract | ||||
| Fifty five grain sorghum yield trials at seven locations during 1992 through 1995 were used to evaluate the performance of two grain sorghum hybrids developed by the Grain sorghum Section, FCRI, ARC relative to the Commercial dual purpose short cultivar Dorado. The two new hybrids Shandaweel-1 and Shandaweel-2 consistantly proved their superiority and wide adaptability for Egyptian conditions, showing 4.19-6.12 ardab (587 to 857 kg) grain yield per feddan increase over Dorado in on station trials and 1.11 - 2.26 aradab (155 to 316 kg) in on farm trials. The two hybrids were released for cultivation. | ||||
