GENETIC VARIABILITY, CORRELATION AND PATH COEFFICIENT ANALYSIS IN KODO MILLET

Abstract

Fifteen Kodo millet genotypes were evaluated for genetic parameters. High heritability estimate combined with genetic advance was observed for plant height indicating the governance by additive genes. Ear head length had high direct as well as indirect effects through other characters on grain yield. Simultaneous selection for ear head length and 1000 grain weight will be useful in bringing higher yields.
