Abstract


Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.R.Br.) is the most important food and fodder crop of dryland agriculture in India and Africa. In order to realize the substantial production and improvement in this allogamous crop, information on the type, nature and magnitude of association between yield and its components is essential. Also, path analysis helps in identifying the yield components which directly and indirectly influence the yield. Selection for the improvement of particular trait will be effective, when a thorough knowledge about inter relationship existing among the yield traits is known. Hence, the present research work was undertaken to study the correlation and path coefficients and to formulate the selection criteria for evolving high yielding genotypes in pearlmillet.
