Abstract:
The experimental material, consisting of 101 entries including 10 parents, 45 crosses, 45 F2s and one check hybrid (GHB 732) was raised in a Randomized Block Design with three replications at the Pearl millet Research Station, JAU, Jamnagar during Summer 2020. The results revealed that the best three hybrids identified on the basis of per se performance and standard heterosis for grain yield per plant viz., J 2601 x J 2340, J 2597 x J 2340 and J 2517 x J 2479 also depicted significant positive standard heterosis over GHB 732 for important yield contributing traits.
