Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the various heights of the male-sterile Rhodesian sudangrass lines, with their respective number of genes for dvrarfness, from the following points of view.

  1. To determine the effects of the various dvrarf A lines on the forage yield of their respective hybrids.

  2. To determine the effects of the various dwarf A lines on the leaf-stem ratio of their respective hybrids.

  3. To determine the effects of the various dwarf A lines on the percent protein content of their respective hybrids.

  4. To compare the performance of the hybrids, A lines, and the H line (Tift).

  5. To compare the performance of the Lubbock planting and the Beaumont planting in order to determine the climatic effects on the hybrids, A lines, and the R line (Tift).
