    GENETIC VARIABILITY STUDIES IN FORAGE BAJRA[Pennisetum glaucum(L.) R. Br.]

    The present investigation entitled “Genetic variability studies on forage bajra (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.)” was conducted at Genetics and Plant Breeding Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.) in saline sodic soil under irrigated condition during Kharif 2010-11. The experimental material constituted 36 genotypes including three check viz., NDFB-2, Raj Bajra Chari and Giant Bajra. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Each entry was sown in two rows per plot of 3 x 2 m2 with row spacing of 10 cm. The observation were recorded on eleven quantitative characters namely days to 50% flowering, no. of tillers/plant, leaf length (cm), leaf width (cm), leaf-stem ratio, grain yield/plant (g), dry matter yield/plant (g), plant height (cm), panicle length (cm), 1000-grain weight (g), green fodder yield/plant (g) the and incidence of major insect-pest were recorded on plot basis. The data recorded on these characters was utilized for estimation of mean, range, variance, correlations, path coefficients and genetic divergence.
