Abstract:

To understand the growth characteristics,yield traits and adaptability of different sorghum varieties in the central mountainous area of Zhejiang Province,screen out high-yielding and stable-yielding varieties suitable for local cultivation,and explore suitable cultivation techniques for mountainous areas,this study selected 12 sorghum varieties to conduct variety comparison trials and one-time fertilization trials. Through comparative analysis of growth period,plant height,panicle length,thousand-grain weight,grain weight per panicle and yield,the results showed that varieties such as Zhenuoliang 24-1,Chuanuoliang 2,Zhenuoliang 1 and Jinnuo 102 exhibited better comprehensive performance. The one-time fertilization technology throughout the whole process of sorghum planting could effectively guarantee yield while achieving cost saving and efficiency increasing.

Key words: sorghum, variety screening, cultivation, yield, fertilization, mountainous area
