GENETIC STUDY OF DEENANATH GRASS (PENNISETUM PEDICELLATUM) FOR GREEN FODDER YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS

Abstract

Fifty eight Deenanath grass collections were studied for their yield attributes viz., plant height, tiller number, leaf number and green fodder yield. All the four characters had high heritability with high genetic advance as percentage of mean indicating the presence of additive gene action in controlling these fruits. Plant height had significant, positive and strong correlation with green fodder yield both at phenotypic and genotypic level. Plant height, tiller number and leaf number influenced directly for green fodder yield.
