Abstract
In my attempts to select the best strains of seeds in respect of crops I grow, Jorina was given prominence as the crop is the main food crop of drylands both for men and cattle. Here, for grain and fodder it is a pairu crop (Rabi) sown in November and a green fodder crop in Mudura (Kharif) season sown in July or August soon after the South-west monsoon breaks. In this tract the yellow-grained variety is very popular and the white-grained variety is only rarely grown. I feel the need of publishing my field records in support of my conclusions. Trial plots were taken up from a big block so that landslope, level of fertility and cultural operations might not vary. Soils of medium fertility were selected and the seed rate was the same for all strains. Observations and results were recorded without favour or prejudice.
