At present, the farmers have to develop varieties and
hybrids, which fully meet the requirements of
agricultural production. The study of correlation among
economic-valuable characteristics of grain sorghum is of
great importance nowadays, as it allows optimizing
plant-breeding work at its early stages. For a more
productive process of developing of the initial material in
breeding, it is necessary to determine the correlation
among the traits to identify the strongest connections,
and to conduct further work, based on the obtained data.
Knowing the correlation, the estimation of timeconsuming
economic trait can be replaced by the
assessment of the simpler trait correlated with it. The
article presents the analysis of correlation among various
traits of grain sorghum. The degree and direction of the
correlation have been estimated. The significant effect of
the length of vegetation period on many traits has been
seen. There have been also mentioned the characteristics,
having an influence on a size and a number of kernels
per panicle. There is a positive correlation between a size
of panicle and dimensions of a leaf (length, width).
Along with it there has been found a positive correlation
among linier dimensions of a panicle, length and width
of a leaf, a number of leaves with a number of kernels
per panicle. While studying the correlation between an
extension of a panicle with other traits, there has been
noted a negative correlation between a length of
vegetation period, length and width of a leaf, but there
has been found a positive correlation with plant height. There has been found a positive effect of 1000-kernel
weight, a number of kernels per panicle, a number of
leaves and their dimensions on the formation of kernel
weight per panicle
