Studies on the Genetic Correlation of Important Traits of High Yield and High Sugar Varieties of Sweet Sorghum
[Objective]The purpose of this program was to explore or screen out a high yield and high sugar content sweet sorghum by taking full advantage of the land resources on grey desert soil and studying the genetic correlation of important traits of high yield and high sugar varieties of sweet sorghum. [ Method ] Xingaoliang - 9 and Xingaoliang - 3 were introduced from Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences in order to screen out a more suitable variety. The two varieties underwent the comparative experiment and their stem length, spear thickness, biomass, stalk yield, seed yield and stalk birx were compared and analyzed. [Result]The result showed that agronomic traits, yield and stalk birx of Xingaoliang -9 were all better than the Control. The highest yield reached 5 469. 7 kg/667 m2, 24. 4% more than the control, and the kernel highest yield reached 363. 3 kg/667 m2, 33. 5 % more than the control, and per - mu yield of sugar was significantly higher than the control. [ Conclusion ] Xingaoliang - 9 plant height, stem diameter/ spear thickness, stem yield were higher than the control. It is suitable for cultivation on grey desert soil.
