• W2206872729 abstract "A B S T R A C T Sorghum is an important staple food crop in the northern regions of Ghana. The crop is used locally to prepare several meals such as ‘tuo zaafi’, porridge, cake and to brew a local beer known as ‘pito’. Despite the important role of sorghum in nutrition and economy of Ghana, it attracts little research attention and recently low economic yield of sorghum is a great disincentive to farmers. Understanding of yield components of sorghum is needed to improve yield of existing local varieties. This study investigates the yield components of four local varieties of sorghum; Banina, Kadaga, Naga red and Kapala. The sudy was carried out at Navrongo in the Kassena-Nankana district of the Upper East region of Ghana. The varieties were evaluated for yield traits using Randomized Complete Block design with four replications. The results revealed that, significant variations were recorded among the yield traits studied. High values for phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) was recorded for harvest index and number of grains per panicle. High heritability accompanied with high genetic advance (GA) was observed for number of days to flowering, number of primary panicles, weight of grains per panicle, and days to maturity. Banina variety produced the highest number of leaves, panicle height, panicle width, plant height, number of grains per panicle, weight of grains per panicle, economic yield and biological yield. There was also significant and positive correlation between characters studied. Principal components analysis revealed that Banina was the highest yielding variety and number of grains per panicle was the principal contributing factor to the high yielding character of this variety. This indicates that local farmers could cultivate Banina to increase their yield and genetic improvement of number of grains per panicle by plant breeders could help to develop higher yielding varieties for enhancement of nutrition and livelihoods of the rural poor in the northern regions of Ghana." @default.
