Materials and Methods: 24 sorghum lines were screened for drought for 3 years in post rainy season in vertisol following alpha lattice design in three replications. The biomass from the plot was harvested, dried, ground and passed through 1mm sieve, later analysed in Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), calibrated for this experiment against conventional wet laboratory analyses (IVOMD). The statistical package of SAS (1988) was used for analysis of variance (SAS GLM procedure) for estimation of simple correlations between laboratory quality and agronomic traits. Result:  The stress has caused a significant reduction for the traits under study except flowering.  The flowering is delayed by 9 days under stress conditions.  The percent reduction under stress for ME is 10.70%, for IVOMD is 9.08%, for SY is 41.38% and TW is 19.30% except for flowering which increased under stress by 15% causing a delay in flowering.  No significant correlation between yield and any quality traits were observed  PH and SY are positively correlated (0.69@P=5%)  PH has heritability of 0.71, TW has 0.71 and SY has 0.55, under stress  Variations for traits under study was observed across years  IVOMD has shown an average of 48.40 (3.24) in 2012, 48.50 (4.59) in 2013 and 46.42 (3.77) in 2015  TW has an average of 2.45 (1.29) in 2012, 3.00 (1.19) in 2013 and 2.65 (1.65) in 2015.  Flowering varies from 55 to 100 days across all the years Abstract: Sorghum is grown as a dual purpose crop yielding food (grain) and fodder (stover) in marginal environments of Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Application of genomics and trait discovery tools in breeding program can expedite genetic improvement of fodder quality. Earlier reports suggested that a difference of one percentage unit in stover digestibility increases livestock output of 6 to 8%. To characterize fodder quality traits in sorghum and to identify genomic regions related to t[hose traits, a set of mapping population parents (24) were evaluated under two water regimes (control and stress) over 3 years at ICRISAT-Patancheru. In vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD%) – a key stover quality trait, test weight (TW-g), stalk yield (SY-Kg/ha) and grain yield (GY- Kg/ha) recorded significant variation across genotype, treatment, year and interaction effects. Across season analyses revealed a range of 45.8% to 50.4% for IVOMD, variation from 1.9g to 4.1g for TW. The SY and GY recorded a mean value of 4552 Kg/ha and 3152 Kg/ha, across years. While heritability estimates across seasons were on higher side for TW (0.85), SY (0.77) and IVOMD (0.70), it was lower for GY (0.39). A positive correlation of 0.63 and 0.79 was observed for SY – IVOMD and plant height (PH) - SY, respectively. This further implied that an opportunity exists for simultaneous improvement in both yield and fodder quality. We identified a parental set of ICSV1 and ICSV700 having consistently contrasting values across all seasons for IVMOD for further genetic mapping of the fodder quality traits in sorghum.
