Abstract:

The investigation was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Ananthapuram during kharif, 2024to study the extent of genetic variability in of pearl millet for yield and its attributing traits. Analysis of variance indicated highly significant differences among the genotypes for all nine traits, confirming the existence of substantial genetic variability. The narrow variation between Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation (PCV) and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation (GCV) for all traits suggested minimal environmental influence on trait expression. Number of productive tillers per plant exhibited higher estimates of PCV and GCV, indicating the potential for effective selection. Number of productive tillers per plant, grain yield per plant, harvest index, 1000-grain weight, and days to 50% flowering showed higher heritability coupled with higher genetic advance as a percentage of the mean reflecting the predominance of additive gene action and favourable for improvement through selection.
