“…High heritability with high GAM indicates preponderance of additive genes which respond to selection. Similar findings of high heritability and high GAM for agronomic traits were reported by Kumar et al (2017) and Anuradha et al (2018). High heritability with moderate GAM was observed for plant height indicating the presence of both additive and non-additive genes.…”

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is one of the most important staple cereals in the semiarid tropics, adapted to very harsh rain-fed conditions. The present study was conducted in South of Chad in two Province where twelve pearl millet accessions were collected and assessed in Bébédjia (9°55'N and 15°8'E) during the rainy season of 2017 to evaluate the genetic diversity. Farmers traditionally used the spike shape, accession's origin and animal name to classify name of pearl millet accession. Qualitative evaluation showed that pearl millet landraces had dominance of cylindrical-shape and threshing with the touch spike, hexagonal shape and grey colored seed with the endosperm mostly corneous. All traits assessed except total tiller per plant revealed high significant difference (p<0.001) between twelve landraces. Heritability was high for all traits with high genetic advance of percentage of mean was observed for all traits except total tillers, plant height, days to flowering and thousand grain weight suggesting that these traits are governed by additive gene action and possibility of improving these traits through selection. Positive correlation of grain weight with number of days to flowering indicates that indirect selection of simply inherited agronomic traits can assist in effective selection for grain yield.

“…Likewise, high estimates of variability were reported by Dehinwal et al, (2016), Nehra et al, (2017) and Talawar et al, (2017) for number of productive tillers per plant, 1000 grain weight and grain yield per plant; Bhasker et al, (2017) and Kumar et al, (2014) for panicle length and dry fodder yield per plant; Vinodana et al, (2013) and Kumar et al, (2017) for green fodder yield per plant; Sumathi et al, (2010) and Vagadiya et al, (2013) for panicle weight which corroborates with the findings of the present study.…”

“…Plant height and stem girth were shown to have a highly substantial and positive association with dry fodder output per plant [23 and 6]. Leaf length and dry matter content were also shown to be strongly and positively linked with green fodder yield [24]. Plant height, on the other hand, was shown to be positively linked with panicle length and panicle breadth [25].…”

During Kharif 2017, 96 sorghum accessions were tested and characterised for several yield component characteristics and morphological factors at the Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology's Instructional Dairy Farm in Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India. A positive and significant correlation coefficient of component traits ensures their potential for selection in order to maximize fodder yield. In the present study green fodder yield and dry fodder yield were found to be significantly and positively associated with plant height (0.389, 0.351) and stem girth (0.476, 0.418). leaf length (0.011), stem girth (0.007), leaf width (0.001) and plant height (0.002) were observed to have a positive direct effect on green fodder yield. The findings of the research reveal noteworthy relationships between green fodder yield, dry fodder yield and specific morphological attributes. Therefore, these characters provide enormous opportunity for selection to improve yield. The present study has implications in current breeding programmes for developing improved varieties by highlighting the specific traits and parameters that can contribute significantly to higher fodder yield, breeders can strategically target these characteristics during the selection and breeding process. By identifying features that have a direct beneficial influence on yield, the study gives practical insights that can benefit fodder production and as a result, the livestock and agriculture industries.
