Abstract

Two mutant lines G5 and G8 are sorghum lines from mutation breeding techniques by gamma-ray irradiation, especially sorghum varieties for forage in Indonesia. The objective of this research is to evaluate the agronomic characteristics of sorghum mutant lines at different fertilizer levels on podzolic soil. Completely randomized design with 2 factors was applied in this research. The first factor was the fertilizer levels. The second factor was the mutant lines/ variety of sorghum. The Numbu variety was compared with G5 and G8 mutant lines. The treatment of fertilizer levels were conducted to 3 levels: 0 (control), 10 and 20 ton ha−1 fertilizers. Variables measured were stem diameter, plant height, total leaves, leaf width, and leaf length. The results show that Numbu variety and G5 have the highest stem diameter (P<0.05). Numbu variety at fertilizer level 10 ton ha−1 has the highest plant height with 305.03 cm. The highest total leaves are found at Numbu at fertilizer level 10 ton ha−1 and G5 at control fertilizer level (P<0.05). The highest width leaf are found at fertilizer level 10 and 20 ton ha−1at G8 mutant lines, whereas the highest length leaf are found at fertilizer level 10 and 20 ton ha−1 at Numbu variety (P<0.05). Based on those results, it can be concluded that fertilizer level 10 ton ha−1 at Numbu variety and mutant lines had higher plant growth for the agronomic characteristics of sorghum.
