Abstract: Shandaweel- 6 is a grain sorghum hybrid between the male- sterile line 631 and the restorer line no. 1 selected from the variety Dorado. Results of nine on- station yield evaluation trails at 3 different locations during 3 successive years, and twenty- three verification trails at 23 different locations in Upper Egypt showed that Shandaweel- 6 has a high yielding potential ranging from 21.0 to 27.3 ard/ fed (7.0 to 9.1 t/ha) at the station trails and from 16.48 to 20.8 ard/ fed (5.49 to 6.93 t/ ha) in farmers' fields. The hybrid has a medium plant height (170-200 cm), medium flowering date (70- 77 days), long panicle (35- 38 cm), semi compact head with long exersion, white bold kernels (30-35 gm/ 1000 kernels), straw- color glumes, resistant to downy mildew, leaf blight, stalk rot and long smut disease and with stay green and juicy stalks and leaves after physiological maturity. It can be planted at a high population density of 50-60 thousand plants/feddan. The hybrid was released for commercial production in 2000.
