abstract: Sorghum is the fifth most important cereal crop grown in the world after wheat, maize, rice and
barley. Grain mold, caused by several non-specialized fungi is an important biotic constraint of sorghum and it
seriously compromises the yield and quality of grains obtainable from improved cultivars. This study was an
attempt to demonstrate the feasibility of developing white pericarp grain mold resistant high grain yielding sorghum
hybrids with stable performance over years. Of the 70 hybrids developed using grain mold resistant hybrid
parents, 9 promising hybrids were identified and these along with their parents were tested during three rainy
seasons (2006-08) for stability of grain mold resistance and grain yield at ICRISAT-Patancheru. From these, two
hybrids (ICSA 101 × PVK 801 and ICSA 52 × ICSV 96105) with white pericarp, higher grain mold resistance
and higher grain yield were identified that can be commercialized for food uses after testing for regional adaptation.
The hybrid parents ICSB 400, ICSB 52, PVK 801, ICSR 89058, ICSR 91011 and IS 41675 identified in this study
can be further used in developing hybrids with enhanced grain yield and grain mold resistance by crossing them
with other parents with desirable agronomic traits and high adaptability.
