Heterosis, Combining Ability in Pearl Millet

This book is based on my M.Sc(Agri.) studied HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY FOR GRAIN YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS IN PEARLMILLET [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] at DEPARTMENT OF PLANT BREEDING AND GENETICS CHIMANBHAI PATEL COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE SARDARKRUSHINAGAR DANTIWADA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY SARDARKRUSHINAGAR - 385 506 The present investigation was undertaken to study the magnitude of heterosis and combining ability for grain yield and yield components in pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]. The crosses were attempted by adopting line x tester mating design among five lines and fourteen testers during kharif 2007. The resultant seventy hybrids along with nineteen parents were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications at the Bajra Research Station, Regional Research Station, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, during kharif 2007. As Plant breeder i made so hard work for this. From: Rakesh Parmar
