GENETIC VARIABILITY IN KODO MILLET (PASPALUM SCROBICULATUM L.)

Abstract

Fifty genotypes of Kodo millet were used to study the genetic variability among them for six economic attributes. The genotypic coefficient of variation was high for straw yield. Plant height, 1000-grains weight and straw yield exhibited higher heritability estimates. Straw yield also recorded the highest genetic advance indicating that it is controlled by additive gene action and that phenotypic selection for its improvement will be effective.
