Abstract


With a view to develop a downy mildew resistant high yielding hybrid in pearl millet, number of crosses were effected between the stable downy mildew resistant male sterile line (PT 732A) and different inbreds. A combination, UCH 11 (PT 732A x PT 3095) was identified and released as hybrid X6 for general cultivation in Tamil Nadu in view of its high yield potential and resistance to downy mildew disease. The features of the hybrid are described in this paper.
