Evaluation of Genotypic Variation of Sorghum Varieties in the Southwestern Niger
Abstract
Background: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is grown in semi-arid regions, valued for its adaptation and drought tolerance. Understanding genotype × environment interactions is essential for developing stable, high-yielding cultivars. Methods: Eight sorghum genotypes were evaluated during the 2019 and 2020 growing seasons using a randomized complete block design with five replications. Data were collected on plant height, days to flowering, biomass, panicle weight, grain weight, 1000-grain weight. Data underwent ANOVA, Tukey's HSD (p
