EFFECT OF CERTAIN METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS ON YIELD OF PEARL MILLET

Abstract

Pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides S&H) is a poor man's food crop in dry tracts of coastal Andhra, whose yields vary in different climates. The population Visakha compc- site and hybrid HB, 3 are investigated during 1974 to 1976 monsoon and summer 1976 to examine the impact of weather, elements on pearl millet. The yields of com- posite are high compared with hybrid even under summer due to genotypic and pheno. typic adjustability of the population under different meteorological conditions.
