Abstract:
Barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea) is becoming the fastest growing minor millets among the millets. An investigation was taken to analysis the pooled character association analysis for the grain yield and its component traits along with Grain Iron (Fe) and Zinc (Zn) content in 50 barnyard millet germplasm including five check varieties cultivated in four different environment and the trail was raised in randomised block design with three replications. Significant difference between genotypes was observed from pooled ANOVA. Correlation studies exhibited significant positive relationship of grain yield with panicle length, panicle width, plant height, 1000 grain weight and fodder yield per plant. Also, the grain Fe and Zn content found associated with grain yield and inter-correlated among themselves.
