Abstract

                                Genetic diversity in fodder pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) was studied with 28 genotypes of different origin. The genotypes could be grouped into 5 distinct clusters. The clustering pattern showed that geographic diversity is not an index of genetic diversity. Crude protein content, leaf weight and dry matter content were important contributors to the divergence. On the basis of genetic distance and cluster mean values, nine genotypes have been identified for hybridisation and selection for the desirable traits.

Key words : Fodder Pearl Millet, Genetic Divergence, Analysis
