"Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a potential raw material for production\r\nof ethanol that on blending in petrol is expected to meet the energy demand and address the environmental\r\nissues. Well-developed hybrid technology will make the crop remunerative to the\r\nfarmers. Hence, gene action and best combining female and male parents for sugar yield in\r\nsweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and the association of sugar yield with other\r\nagronomic traits was studied in 171 hybrids developed by crossing 19 female parents with nine\r\nmale parents in line × tester design and evaluated during both rainy and postrainy seasons of\r\n2006. The significant differences between the seasons for all the traits suggested that these\r\ntraits are greatly influenced by the environment. The lines (female parents) ICSA 38, ICSA\r\n479, ICSA 702, ICSA 675 and ICSA 474 and the restorers (male parents), SSV 74 and SSV 84\r\ncombined well for sugar yield during rainy season and the lines, ICSA 702, ICSA 38 and ICSA\r\n474 and the restorers, ICSV 93046, SPV 1411 and ICSV 700 combined well during postrainy\r\nseason. The magnitude of SCA variance was higher suggesting the importance of non-additive\r\ngene action in inheritance of all the traits though both additive and dominant genes controlled\r\noverall sugar yield during both the seasons. Hence, selection in early generation would be ineffective\r\nand recurrent selection with periodic intercrossing is advocated. However, breeding\r\ngood combining restorer parents can fetch high sugar yield in postrainy season. There is an indication\r\nof existence of transgressive segregation for sugar yield that can be exploited. The\r\nsugar yield was weak though significantly correlated with high brix and poor grain yield during\r\nboth the seasons requiring extensive crossing to improve these traits simultaneously.\r\nKeeping in view mean performance, SCA effects and heterobeltiosis, the hybrids, ICSA 474 ×\r\nSSV 84, ICSA 24001 × ICSR 93046 and ICSA 474 × SPV 422 were identified promising for\r\nrainy season and the hybrids ICSA 24001 × SPV 1411 and ICSA 511 × ICSV 93046 were identified\r\nfor postrainy season."^^ .
