An investigation with fourteen genotypes grown under water saving aerobic condition revealed significant difference for all the characters studied except for 1000-grain weight. Number of tillers, and grain yield recorded high phenotypic and high genotypic co-efficient of variability. All the characters studied exhibited high heritability and characters like, number of tillers, grain yield and fodder yield recorded high genetic advance as percent over mean. Estimates of correlation coefficient indicated that fodder yield and harvest index manifested positive and significant correlation with grain yield. At phenotypic level, fodder yield followed by harvest index and days to first flowering showed positive direct effect on grain yield. Whereas negative direct effect on grain yield was exhibited by plant height and plant height had positive indirect effect through days to first flowering.
