Determination of weed and quality characteristics of some sorghum genotypes in Muş ecological conditions

The researc was conducted in Muş province in 2022. The aim of the research was to test some 14 sorghum and sorghum sudan grass hybrids and 4 candidate varieties (Akdarı, 26, Mataco, Talisman, Karaca Melez, 305, Uzun, Hulk, Gözde 80, E.Sumac, Rox, 310, Aldarı, Teacher) in Muş ecological conditions. In order to determine the grass yield and quality of genotypes (Son, 314, Leoti, Erdurmuş, Beydarı), the randomization blocks were made in 3 replicates according to the trial design. of plants; height 96.33-243.66 cm, number of leaves 8-11.6, single plant weight 868.33-2418.33 g, dry matter yield 345.95-1057.18 kg per decare, crude protein rate 6.08 -10.02 kg/da, ADF 31.84-37.13, NDF 57.29-65.53. According to the results of this study, Leoti, Uzun and Beydarı varieties stand out in terms of quality; In terms of productivity, Gözde 80, Uzun and Mataco varieties came to the fore. In order to obtain a good yield in Muş and similar ecological conditions, it may be recommended to grow one of the Gözde 80, Uzun or Mataco varieties. When evaluated in terms of both yield and quality, it would be appropriate to use the Uzun variety, which is in the high statistical groups.
