Abstract in English
This study was carried out at Kharabu Station, General Commission for Scientific
Agricultural Research (GCSAR), during the growing seasons 2011 and 2012, to
estimate phenotypic correlation, and path coefficient of some morphological and
green fodder yield components (days to flowering, plant height (cm), number
of leaves per plant, number of tillers per plant, and green fodder yield (ton/ha)).
Fifteen pearl millet crosses resulted from half diallel mating system between six
inbred lines. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design
(RCBD), with three replications.
