Fourteen genotypes of ragi wore investigated in terms of yield and its associated characters. The general association of yield with drymatter production was brought out Genotypes CO 7, IDS 1 and Indaf 5 doviated indicating their susceptibility to environment. The yield and 1000-seed weight relationship presented a wide scatter. The seed weight before sowing and seed weight after harvest differed widely in certaion genotypes. HPB 7 6 and PES 172 improved their 1000-seed weight largely whereas Indal 5 presented a decline. Only HR 222 showed resistance to environment interaction without any change in 1000-seed weight. Thus Genotype x Environment interaction is evident in the dry matter production and 1000 seed weight.
