HETEROSIS FOR GRAIN YIELD IN PEARL MILLET

Abstract

Pronounced heterosis in grain yield with different degree and magnitude was expressed in various individual crosses under varied environments. Environment-specific as well as widely adaptable hybrids and parents were identified. The hybrid 732 A X PT 1650 was versatile for providing heterotic hybrid in individual as well as a cross the environments. Differential behaviour of heterosis under varying environments and breeding value are discussed.
