Abstract


A knowledge of association of quantitative characters especially of yield and its attributes had been of immense practical utility and profound significance in the field of plant breeding. Such an understanding through advanced biometrical methods such as correlation, regression and discriminant function has made it possible to score the given phenotypes very close to their genotypic yield potentialities. The present investigation was undertaken in this context in some of the pearl millet varieties that are being maintained at the Millets Breeding Station, Coimbatore.
