Related components in pearl Millet

Micronutrient malnutrition resulting from the dietary deficiency of important minerals such as Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu) and Manganese (Mn) in the staple food crops like pearl millet leads to ubiquitous food-related health problems. In context to this present investigation was undertaken to study the phenotypic diversity among 48 maintainer (B) and restorer lines (R) of pearl millet genotypes for grain micronutrients concentration, yield and agro-morphological traits using multivariate approach.

This investigation was carried out to study combining ability along with inheritance of grain yield and its component traits in 100 hybrids of pearl millet which were generated through line x tester mating design using 5 male sterile lines and 20 restorers as parental material at ICRISAT, Hyderabad during Summer, 2018. These hybrids were evaluated in randomized block design with 3 replications in 3 environments during Kharif, 2018 at Rajasthan Agricultural Research Institute, Durgapura (Jaipur).

In results, both GCA and SCA variances were found significant for majority of characters.
