“…Amongst the females, ICMA 96666 had good general combiner for 1000-grain weight, plant height, panicle length, protein content, iron content and zinc content, ICMA 97111 was found good general combiner for grain yield per plant and stover yield per plant and ICMA 94111 was found to be good general combiner for days to maturity, panicle diameter and harvest index. These results are in accordance with the findings of Pareek et al (2008), Chaudhary et al (2012), Kanatti et al (2014), Khandagale et al (2014), Bhardwaj et al (2015), Badurkar et al (2018) andReshma et al (2019). Most of the females and males were showing average GCA for most of the characters.…”

The objective of the present study is to estimate the combining ability effects among parents and their crosses in pearl millet, to identify promising cross combinations for grain yield and its component traits. In combining ability analysis, the extent of sca variance was higher than gca variance for all of the characters demonstrating the predominance of non-additive gene action except for panicle length and 1000-grain weight. The estimates of general combining ability suggested that parents, RIB 17 S/109, RIB 16300, RIB 37-40 S/17, RIB 13-16 S/17, ICMA 96666 and ICMA 94111 were good general combiners for yield and its contributing characters. The best hybrid, ICMA 94111 x RIB 16296 involved low x low performing parents which exhibited high positive and significant SCA effect for grain yield and most of the yield contributing and quality traits like protein, iron and zinc. These good combiner lines may be exploited to develop iron and zinc rich hybrids along with grain yield to alleviate malnutrition in people of the country.

The present study was conducted at Shoolini University, Solan during the kharif season 2022 to evaluate the influence of Different Fertility Levels on Growth and Quality of Pearl millet in Mid Hills of Himachal Pradesh. The soil of the experimental site was fertile with uniform sandy loam texture, medium in N and K but high in phosphorus availability. The experiment was laid out in RBD comprising of ten treatments (T1) Control, (T2) 100% RDF, (T3) 120% RDF, (T4) 50% RDF + FYM @ 10 t ha-1, (T5) 75% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1), (T6) 100% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1, (T7) 50% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1, (T8) 75% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1, (T9) 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 and (T10) 75% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 and and replicated thrice. Pearl millet cultivar PHB-2884 was sown at spacing of 45 × 15 cm with the seed rate of 4 Kg ha-1. Plant population, plant height, nitrogen content & uptake and protein yield were recorded significantly higher with application of (T3) 120% RDF which was statistically at par with (T9) 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1, (T6) 100% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 and (T2) 100% RDF. However, least values of these characters were recorded under (T1) control treatment. Findings can be concluded as the significantly higher Growth, and quality produce by pearl millet were observed with application of (T3) 120% RDF and was at par with (T2) 100% RDF, (T9) 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 and (T6) 100% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 over rest of the treatments. Thus, application of (T3) 120% RDF was found to be most promising treatment in enhancing the growth and quality of pearl millet.
