ABSTRACT Millets are hardy crops adapted to marginal lands in hot, drought‐prone arid and semiarid environments. Among the small millets, barnyard ( Echinochloa spp.), kodo Paspalum scrobiculatum L.), little Panicum sumatrense Roth ex Roem. Schult. ) millets most underresearched terms of useful genetic genomic resources available breeders for enhancement these crops. A core collection is an important strategy enhance use diverse germplasm with agronomically beneficial traits applied...

Background: Wheat, a vital food crop, is increasingly threatened by heat stress due to climate change. This significantly impacts yields and grain quality. India, major wheat producer, urgently needs tolerant varieties late sown particularly susceptible terminal stress. study aimed identify diverse genotypes among evaluated that can be used in further breeding programs. Methods: The investigated genetic diversity 29 (Triticum aestivum L.) under timely environments at DRPCAU, Bihar during...

Character association studies help in assessing the relationship among yield and its components to enhance selection utility. In view of this, present research was carried out for correlation path coefficients 30 bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes using fifteen quantitative parameters. Correlation analysis demonstrated a noteworthy positive days fifty per cent flowering, number tillers/plant, flag leaf area, spike length, plant height, chlorophyll content, relative water grains/...

An experiment with thirty three genotypes of bread wheat carried out to study the nature and magnitude divergence using Mahalanobis D2 statistics, in randomized block design replications. The data for thirteen important quantitative traits were recorded from raised. variability indicated high moderate phenotypic genotypic coefficient variation accompanied by heritability genetic advance as per cent mean traits, plant height, number tillers plant, flag leaf area, chlorophyll content, canopy...

An experiment was performed taking 30 bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes in the experimental area of Wheat Breeding section DRPCAU, Pusa, Samastipur, Bihar during Rabi season 2019-20 to assess genotypic and phenotypic variance, coefficient variability, heritability, genetic advance as per cent mean. Observations were documented for fifteen characters. The evaluation accomplished Randomized Block Design. Significant differences revealed by analysis variance among evaluated each...

The present investigation was carried out in the fields located at wheat breeding section, Dr Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa, Samastipur and Bihar. experimental materials of study comprised 39 diverse bread (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes. genotypes were grown under two environments viz., drought stress (rainfed) irrigated (well-watered). experiment each environment laid Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Five plants selected randomly from plot for...

The present experiment was conducted to identify important yield attributing traits under timely and late sowing conditions by employing correlation path coefficient analysis at Wheat experimental farm, DRPCAU, Samastipur, Bihar during rabi 2020-21. Grain plant-1 had a significant positive with tillers plant-1, grains spike-1, chlorophyll content, 1000-grain weight harvest index both the conditions, however it reported negative canopy temperature heat susceptibility index. Whereas, alliance...

Thirty interspecific crosses (including reciprocals) involving three genotypes/varieties of greengram (Vigna radiate (L) Wilczek) cv.HUM 1 HUM 2 & 8 and five blackgram mungo (L.) Hepper) cv.T 9, Pant U 19, PDU 1, BHUU 91-346-1 were attempted.Nine out 30 successful only when was used as seed parents.The crossability ranged from 0.0 to 61.0 per cent.Germination, survival pod bearing habit the F s hybrids much better in Kharif season compared spring/summer season.The intermediate for leaf...

Character association studies will help to assess the relationship among yield and its components for enhancing usefulness of selection. In view this, present research work was carried out correlation coefficient path analysis twenty five maize genotypes using eleven quantitative parameters. Correlation indicated that plant height (cm), ear length girth number kernel rows per ear, kernels row showed significant positive with grain (Kg/ha) as well themselves at phenotypic genotypic level....

This research was conducted in kharif during 2017 at farm of SVPUA&T, Meerut, U.P. India. Total 30 genotypes were grown with recommended plant spacing and its collected from different agriculture universities The studies genotypic phenotypic correlation coefficient for 10 traits, observed that higher than the it exhibited modifying effect environments on binding traits. Green fodder yield showed significant strong positive leaf area both levels. Therefore, this character is useful to...

Thirty bread wheat genotypes were tested by adopting Randomized Block Design with three replications during 2019-20, under two different environments, i.e. early and timely sown conditions. The ultimate goal was to determine the relationship between yield contributing traits classify that have highest direct indirect effects on grain both environmental circumstances. Grain positively significantly correlated no. of tiller/plant, grains/spike, relative water content, spike fertility, harvest...

Rice is the staple food crop for more than half of world population. Thus, rice varieties enriched with various micronutrients qualifies as a better alternative to combat micronutrient deficiency. The present investigation was undertaken study variability, heritability and genetic divergence grain characters especially Zinc (Zn) content Iron (Fe) in 30 genotypes rice. Among that were under investigation, Phenotypic Coefficient Variation (PCV) values found be higher Genotypic (GCV) all...

The present study was undertaken with the objective to assess nature and magnitude of gene action for various morpho-physiological biochemical traits in two crosses namely cross BHU 31 × HD 2733 cross, HPYT 485 2967 wheat. six basic generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 B2 obtained from these (made Rabi 2018 2019) were evaluated 13 quantitative including yield micronutrient during 2020 compact family block design 3 replications at Research farm, RPCAU, Pusa data recorded on randomly selected...

Rice is the staple food crop for more than half of world population. Thus, rice varieties enriched with various micronutrients qualifies as a better alternative to combat micronutrient deficiency. The present investigation was undertaken study degree and direction association grain characters especially Zinc (Zn) content Iron (Fe) in 30 genotypes rice. correlation coefficient analysis findings at phenotypic level were used determine whether traits correlated yield significance relationship...

A study was conducted during the Kharif 2020 season in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India, to investigate interaction between genotype and environment (GxE) for 55 rice genotypes grown at three different locations. The analysis employed GGE Biplot AMMI tools evaluate graphically visualize these locations grain yield response their interrelationships, discrimination ability, representativeness. ANOVA revealed significant genotype-environment interactions. lower value of ASV led most stable...
