Description Data on agronomic traits for 142 entries from the trial conducted using Alpha Lattice design, with two replications under drought stress (irrigation withheld) and two under controlled (well irrigated) conditions in vertisols. The following data were recorded in field, days to fifty percent flowering, plant height, fresh biomass, dry biomass, and grain weight. The fodder quality assessment was performed in collaboration with ILRI-INDIA with the details mentioned below. The biomass was dried, chopped, and ground (to allow the powder to pass through 1mm sieve). Later the biomass was scanned in Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) calibrated against conventional wet laboratory analyses and following parameters were recorded, nitrogen on dry matter basis (NDM-%), acid and neutral detergent fiber (ADF and NDF-%) acid detergent lignin (ADL-%), metabolizable energy (ME- MJ/kg DM) and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD). The NIRS instrument used was a FOSS Forage Analyzer 5000 (FOSS XDS RCA, Win ISI IV, Denmark) with software package Win ISI II.
