Abstract

Cytoplasmic male-sterile sorghum ATx623 (Sorghum bicol or (L.) Moench) was crossed with male parents Millo Blaco (MB) (photoperiod sensitive), and Greehleaf (GL) (photoperiod insensitive). The genotypes were planted on the 15th day of each month during 1984 and harvested at 60 day intervals, Dry forage yield (DFY), crude protein yield (CPY), leaf area (LA), plant height (PHO, rust incidence (R) and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) were calculated for each cutting. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes (G) and planting dates (PD) x G interaction for all traits except dry matter content (DMC) and IVDMD. All traits showed significant differences among PD. ATx623 x GL had nearly constant production (3-4 tonnes ha-1 harvest-1). ATx623 x MB fluctuated from appoximately 3 tonnes ha-1 per harvest from December to January plantings to 7.68 tonnes ha-1 harvest-1 at the June planting. Genotypes showed similar IVDMD at all harvests. During long day plantings photoperiod sensitive sorghums showed less R than the insensitive types. The excellent DFY, CPY and IVDMD, and low R incidence of photoperiod sensitive genotypes during long days make them valuable materials for intensively managed tropical sorghum. ATx623 and MB proved outstanding for developing superior F1 forage sorghum hybrids in Puerto Rico. ----- Sorgo fitopldsmico estaminado y esteril ATx623 (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), fue cruzado con parentescos estaminados, - Millo Blanco (MB), (sensitivo a la luz) y Grennleaf (GL), (insensitivo a la luz) -. Los genotipos fueron plantados el quince de cada mes, durante el a1\o 1984 y cosechados cada sesenta dias. EI rendimiento de forraj e en seco (DPY), rendimiento de proteina en bruto (CPY), superficie de la hoja (LA), altura de la pl anta (PHt), incidencia de la Roya (R) y la digestibilidad de materia seca in vitro (IVDMD), fueron calculados para cada cosecha, Un an~J.isis de la variables mostrar6n una diferencia significativa, de los genotipos (G) y de las fechas de siembra (lPD) x interacci6n en todos los puntos mencionados anteriormente, excepto el conteniod G, de materia seca (DMC) y el IYMD. Todos los rasgos mostraron diferencias significativas entre las PD. AT623 x GL casi tuvieron una produccidn constante (3-4 ton/ha/cosecha), AT x 623 x MBfluctuardn de aproximadernente 3 ton/ha/cosecha en siernbras de Diciernbre a Enero, a 7.68/ton/ha/cosecha en la siernbra de Junio. Los genotipos mostraron un IVDMD durante todas las cosechas, Durante las siembras de tipo de dia largo, el sorgo sensitivo a la luz mostro una incidencia menor al ataque de la Roya que, el de aquellos del tipo insensitive. Los excelentes DPY, CPY y IVDMD Y la baja incidencia al ataque de la Roya de los genotipos sensitivos a la luz durante los dias largos, hacen de ellos un material de valor para las praderas de sorgo tropical, manejadas intensivamente, AT x 623 y MB mostraron ser sobresalientes para desarrollar un sorgo de forraje hfbrido Fl , en Puerto Rico.
