| Description |
Sorghum is a useful cereal crop cultivated by numerous resource poor farmers in semi arid regions. The crop is indigenous thus well adapted to various environments in Kenya. Sorghum performs better than other cereal staples particularly maize especially during extended dry periods. Experiments to determine the performance of different sorghum genotypes were conducted. Results showed that grain yield varied significantly (Pd”0.01) among the genotypes evaluated. The best four ranked performers in decreasing order were Kari-mtama 1, IESV 930 SH, IS 27329 and Seredo. |
