Abstract

                                A wide genetic diversity was revealed by the D² analysis wherein 41 genotypes of pearl millet Pennisetum typhoides (Burm.) S.&H.) fall into as many as fourteen clusters. Based on the average intercluster distances (D), the clusters XIII and XIV were found to be highly divergent from the other clusters. The types P.T.1595 and P.T.834/3 (Cluster XII) were superior for carnumber and grain yield. The types P.T. 928 and P.T. 834/1 (Cluster VIII) were superior for earliness while types P.T. 1611 and P.T. 1620 (Cluster VI) were superior for carlength and straw yield. These types may serve as potential parents for hybridisation programmes.
