Abstract: Ten newly developed varieties of Sorghum along with two check varieties were evaluated. Significant differences were observed for plant height, number of leaves per plant and leaf area, while differences for number of tillers per meter row, stem thickness and green fodder yield were non-significant. The variety F-9905 produced the highest green fodder yield (69.62 t ha-1) followed by F-9904 (69.44 t ha-1) and F-9909 (69.06 t ha-1). The check varieties JS-88 and JS-263 produced 65.55 and 63.33 t ha-1 green fodder yields, respectively.
