Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to estimate genetic
divergence, correlation, path analysis and standard heterosis among 90
hybrids of pearl millet for 10 characters. The hybrids were evaluated in RBD
during kharif, 2017 at ARS, Bikaner. Analysis of variance revealed that
significance difference among all hybrids indicated presence of considerable
variability for all 10 characters. Harvest index and seed yield per plant had
high estimate of GCV and PCV.
