“…All traits recorded maximum heritability which concur with the findings of Monika et al (2021) for fodder yield. Similar findings were reported by Vanniarajan and Chandirakala (2020) and Renganathan et al (2018) on barnyard millet (Table 3). High hertitability for grain yield per plant, plant height and flag leaf breadth were in accordance with the findings of Vetriventhan and Upadhayaya, (2018) in proso millet.…”

Barnyard millet is an important short duration nutricereal. A study was conducted to measure the pooled variation and association among yield and its component traits in 27 barnyard millet genotypes raised in six locations. The experiment was raised in RBD with three replications. The pooled ANOVA revealed significant difference between genotypes. High PCV and GCV were recorded for number of productive tillers, flag leaf length, flag leaf breadth, single ear head weight, fodder yield per plant, grain yield per plant. Except for days to maturity, all attributes were governed by additive gene effects, which was evident for high heritability and genetic advance values. Correlation studies exhibited significant positive relationship of grain yield with panicle length, single ear head weight, thousand grain weight and fodder yield per plant. Results of path coefficient analysis indicated that single ear head weight and days to first flowering had direct effect towards grain yield. Thus, by using single ear head weight and days to first flowering as selection indices, grain yield of barnyard millet could be augmented.

“…The outcome of genetic advance relies on the estimates of variability, heritability and selection intensity of the population . High heritability was found for the traits such as, plant height, days to flowering, days to maturity, the number of basal tillers, stem diameter, length of flag leaf, the width of flag leaf, length of inflorescence, the width of inflorescence, length of the lower raceme, the number of racemes, single ear head weight and grain yield per plant in cross I which are in agreement with Renganathan et al (2018) Moderate heritability shows that the additive gene effect operates, which can be improved by mass selection (Nandini et al, 2016). Genetic advance as per cent of the mean (GAM) was high for all the traits, which coincides with Nandini et al (2010) Shanmuganathan (2010.…”

“…This indicated that genetic improvement through selection for this trait often would not be effective and require special breeding procedures. This is in accordance with the answers ofRenganathan et al (2018),Nandini et al (2016), Vemanna et al (2013 andNirosh et al (2021). height, stem diameter, the width of inflorescence, length of peduncle in cross II.…”

“…Moderate PCV and GCV meant the occurrence of notable variation for the above traits in the present segregating population. High PCV and moderate GCV was detected for single ear head weight, uniform with the outcomes of for both PCV and GCV whereas, withRenganathan et al (2018) and Anil kumar et al (2019) solely for GCV. Low PCV and GCV were spotted for days to maturity.…”

An investigation was conducted to evaluate the F 2 population of two crosses of barnyard millet viz., cross I, ACM-15-343 X IEC 82 and cross II, Co (Kv) 2 X IEC 107 for extra earliness. Genetic variability and association analyses were carried out for sixteen biometrical traits. In both the crosses, high PCV and GCV was observed for the width of flag leaf, length of a lower raceme, number of racemes and grain yield per plant. Low PCV and GCV was observed for days to maturity. The minimum difference between PCV and GCV was observed for all the traits in both crosses, indicating the negligible effect of environment on the expression of the characters. Moderate to high heritability with moderate to high genetic advance in all the traits revealed the predominance of additive gene action. A positive significant correlation was noted for grain yield with plant height, days to flowering, days to maturity, the number and length of nodes, the number of basal tillers, stem diameter and single ear head weight. Path analysis disclosed a high positive direct effect of the number of basal tillers and single ear head weight on yield. These results together help in the selection of superior segregants based on the number of basal tillers and single ear head weight in forwarding them to successive generations.

“…Barnyard millet is grown in tropical region of India, China, Japan, Central African Republic, Tanzania and Malawi and is the fourth most produced minor millet worldwide [1]. Although barnyard millet is nutritionally superior to other cereals, its utilization is very much limited due to the presence of anti-nutrients like phytates, polyphenols and tannins which reduce the bioavailability of micronutrients particularly Zn & Fe by chelation [2,3]. Further, Zn content in barnyard millet is also comparatively lesser (1.5 to 7.5 mg 100 g -1…”

Aims: To evaluate the effect of various levels and methods of zinc fertilization in improving the growth and yield of barnyard millet at different growth stages. Study Design: Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Place and Duration of Study: A field experiment was conducted in the farmer’s field at Pasur village, Coimbatore district from January to April, 2022. Methodology: A field experiment was conducted with barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea L.) var. MDU 1 by using different levels of ZnSO4 at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 kg ha-1 as basal soil application and foliar spraying of 0.25, 0.50 & 0.75% twice along with soil test based NPK as control in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The growth and yield parameters such as plant height, SPAD index, root length, lateral root length, root volume, no. of tillers, panicle length, panicle weight, 1000 grain weight, grain and straw yield were recorded as per standard protocols. Results: Application of soil test based NPK + 20 kg ZnSO4 ha-1 performed better in increasing the plant height (157.0 cm), SPAD index (46.3), root length (21.1 cm), lateral root length (16.3 cm), root volume (3.80 cc) and yield attributes like number of tillers (5.06), panicle length (17.6 cm), panicle weight (29.2 g) and 1000 seed weight (3.89g) of barnyard millet. Higher grain (2606 kg ha-1) and straw yield (3411 kg ha-1) was also registered with the addition of soil test based NPK+20 kg ZnSO4 ha-1 which was 27.1% increase over NPK. Conclusion: Basal soil application of soil test based NPK + 20 kg ZnSO4 ha‑1 was found optimal and economical for improving the growth and yield of barnyard millet variety MDU 1.
