The study involving 40 genotypes of foxtail millet nine agronomic and yield-related traits indicated Significant differences among genotypes for all traits studied and substantial genetic diversity in the experimental material. PCV was higher than GCV for all traits but the narrow range of variation between PCV and GCV suggest the lesser environmental influence on the expression of traits. Heritability estimates were high for all traits ranging from 66.6% to 94.4%, suggesting reliable transmission of traits to the next generation. High PCV,GCV, heritability and genetic advance recorded for grain yield per plant, straw yield per plant and number of productive tillers per plant indicated the operation of additive gene action and the possibility of improvement them through simple selection. Days to 50% flowering, thousand grain weight and harvest index had high heritability coupled with moderate genetic advance as percent of mean suggesting the operation of both additive and non additive gene action. The study highlights the potential of simple selection strategies for key yield-related traits and provides valuable information for future breeding programs aimed at enhancing foxtail millet productivity.
