ABSTRACT
Six varieties of sorghum including a check were evaluated. Significant differences were observed among the varieties for plant height, while differences for number of leaves per plant, number of tillers per meter row, stem thickness, leaf area and green fodder yield were non significant. The variety F-9601 showed the highest green fodder yield potential of 64.67t ha -1 followed by F-9603 (63.41t ha -1) and Hegari (60.39t ha -1). The check variety JS-263 produced a green fodder yield of 59.52t ha -1.
