Abstract

                                Genetics of yield components was investigated from combining ability in line X tester design under different environmental conditions in Pearlmillet. The variance due to females was significant for number of tillers, number of grains and single plant yield. The males were also significantly different in respect to panicle length and grain yield. Both additive and non-additive gene effects were important for the expression of yield characters. 732A and PT1650 were best general combiners for grain yield. Best cross combinations for various components were selected and their use in breeding programmes has been advocated..

Key words : Combining Ability, Pearl Millet, Yield Components, Environments
