A pot experiment was conducted to determine the effects of varying Cr (VI) levels [0.0–4.0 mg Cr (VI) kg-1 soil in the form of potassium dichromate] on the some quality parameters of sorghum Sorghum bicolor (L.). Quality parameters was measured in terms of protein content, chlorophyll content, and IVDMD ( In vitro dry matter digestibility) content at different growth stages, i.e. 35 DAS, 70 DAS and 90 DAS (Days after sowing) that were adversely affected with an increase in Cr (VI) levels from 0.0 to 4.0 mg Cr (VI) kg-1 soil. The decline in protein content 4.67 g/ kg dry weight at T4 was observed as compared to control (T1) ( 8.96 g/kg dry weight basis) at 35 DAS in leaves , Total chlorophyll content declined from 3.25 mg g-1 fresh weight (T1) to 2.40 mg g-1 fresh weight (T4) at 35 DAS and IVDMD content declined from 43.60 to 33.60 per cent dry weight basis with increment in chromium concentration. It is concluded that Cr (VI) at higher doses (4.0 mg Cr (VI) kg-1 soil) adversly affects the quality parameters of Forage sorghum Sorghum bicolor (L.) however, quality parameters are responsible for nutritive value of sorghum Sorghum bicolor (L.).

Sorghum Bicolor L

The production of sorghum hybrids depends almost entirely on one genic-cytoplasmic sterility system (Milo-Kafir, A1 Cytoplasm), therefore its importance in increasing the diversity of the number of male-sterile sources, as the named A2 Cytoplasm. This system was introduced at the Rio Bravo Experiment Station (lNIFAP-CIRNE) in Tamaulipas, Mexico, where ge-netic material and seed production were developed. The objetive was to compare the seed quality ofthe isocytoplasmic genotypes (A1 and A2 cytoplasm). A Completely Radomized Experimental Design with Factorial Arrangement and two replications was used. The results show that there were no differences between the two types of cytoplasm (A1 and A2) for the following quality traits: volumetric weight of seeds, 1000 seeds' weight, germination(G) and seedling dry weight (SDW), through nine months of storage; whereas in vigor (G and SDW after fast aging) the A2 cytoplasm surpassed the Al cytoplasm and the same behavior was observed on the seed harvested at its physiological maturity, while at harvest maturity the Al was superior in G and SDW.
