Studies on variability, heritability and genetic advance for quantitative characters in finger millet genotypes


Author(s): N Anuradha and TSSK Patro

Abstract: Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) is one of the underutilized crop which is known for its high nutritional value. Finger millet is having substantial genetic variation for various traits and can be exploited for crop improvement. The present study was aimed to know about genetic variability and heritability of grain yield and yield related traits in 18 finger millet genotypes obtained from all over India. Analysis of Variance revealed significant variation for all traits studied. Grain yield and fodder yield ranged from 22.6 to 42.7 and 59.0 to 95.4 q/ha respectively. Keeping in view of both grain yield and fodder yield, VR 1101 is the best culture which suitable for dual purpose.
