Basing dual-purpose sorghum genetic improvement work on untested laboratory traits could clearly present uncertain results for the breeding objective. In that context, this study compares a wide range of chemical (nitrogen, fiber constituents neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (A...
The paper reports on the variations in organic matter digestibility (OMD), organic matter intake (OMI), digestible organic matter intake (DOMI) and nitrogen (N) balances of 40 pearl millet stover fed to sheep ad libitum and investigated relationships between these in vivo variables and morphologi...

Morphological, chemical and in vitro traits for prediction of stover quality in pearl millet for use in multidimensional crop improvement
Grain and stover productivity and variation in stover quality traits were investigated amongst 256 full-sib progenies of pearl millet variety ICMV 221. Substantial ranges were observed for grain (1.5-fold difference) and stover (1.8-fold difference) yields. Stover protein content varied two-fold,...

A total of 860 cultivars and breeding lines of groundnut grown in the off (Rabi) season of 2001/02 post rainy season at ICRISAT centre head quarter in India were investigated for haulm fodder quality traits and relationships between haulm traits and pod yields. Haulm fodder quality traits chosen ...

Sorghum[Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] stover can provide an abundant alternative source of fermentable sugars through enzymatic hydrolysis (Vermerris et al., 2007). While production of cellulosic ethanol from stover is feasible from an energy-balance perspective, its production is currently not ec...
New sorghum cultivars submitted for cultivars testing and release to the All India Coordinated Sorghum Improvement Project (AICSIP), Directorate of Sorghum Research (DSR), Hyderabad, India from 2002 to 2006 were analyzed for food-feed traits at the laboratory of the International Livestock Resear...

Pearl millet stover is an important cattle feed particularly in arid areas and nutritional quality traits of the stover become more and more important. Eight commercial and two experimental hybrids of pearl millet were evaluated for stover fodder quality traits and their potential trade-off with ...
