18 Sl. No Major achievements during Target 1. Evaluation of advanced Rabi sorghum genotypes to fertilizer levels Discipline: Agronomy Achievement 1) Application of 100% RDF recorded significantly higher growth and yield parameters 2. SPH 1763 was found significantly superior over check varietés with respect to grain yield, fodder yield and returns per hectare and it was found on par with SPH 1741 and SPH 1764 Shortfall

19 Major achievements during Discipline: Agronomy Sl. No Target 2. Optimization of production factors under resource constraints (priority inputs in rabi sorghum) Achievement Full package of practice (FPP) has recorded significantly superior growth and yield parameters and returns per hectare Control (only improved hybrid without any input) resulted in significantly lower growth and yield parameters Shortfall

20 Major achievements during Discipline: Agronomy Sl. No Target Achievement 3. Effect of seed Seed priming with KNO priming and foliar spray of nutrients in rabi sorghum recorded significantly higher grain yield, yield and growth parameters and net returns and it was found on par with respect to grain yield, yield parameters and net returns. Among the foliar sprays, resulted in significantly superior growth and yield parameters and was found on par with DAP 2% spray. Interaction effect was found non significant ifi Shortfall

21 Major achievements during Discipline: Agronomy Sl. No Target Achievement 4. Performance There was no significant difference evaluation of GS 23 and M 35 1 to different spacing and fertilizer levels between GS 23 and M 35 1 with respect to yield parameter however GS 23 recorded numerically higher yieldand yieldparameters GS 23 has taken significantly lower number of days to 50% flowering and days tomaturity There was no significant difference between different spacings Application of 100% RDF resulted in significantly higher growth and yield parameters Interaction effect was found non significant Shortfall

22 Major achievements during Discipline: Agronomy Sl. No Target Achievement Shortfall 5. Preliminary Among the different genotypes evaluation of SLV 182 recorded significantly diverse germplasm higher growth and yield For rabi adaptation ti parameters, however traits significantly higher yield was obtained in SLV 168 due to higher plant population compared to RSV 1345 which recorded lower growth and yield parameters
