Abstract

Combining ability analysis was done in pearl millet for 12 quantitative traits including crude protein, calcium and oxalate contents. Predominance of GCA variance was observed in the traits viz, days to 50 per cent flowering, intermodal length, green fodder yield per clump, dry matter yield per clump, crude protein and oxalate contents while other six quantitative traits-viz., plant height, number of tillers per clump, number of leaves per clump, leaf area per clump, stem girth and calcium content showed predominance of SCA variance.

Keywords: Combining Ability, Fodder Pearl Millet
