Summary

Two different collections of local sorghum strains, grown in 1975/76 and 1976/77, showed considerable and useful variation in plant height at maturity, head type and exsertion, grain colour, and days to flowering and maturity. A close and positive correlation was found between days to flowering and to maturity, and x2 tests also showed close associations among other characters. Implications of these variabilities for sorghum improvement are briefly discussed.
