Genetic Parameters for Grain Yield and Nutritional Quality Traits in Foxtail Millet [Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.]

Genetic Parameters of Yield and Quality Component Traits in Foxtail Millet [Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.]

“…Low PCV and GCV were recorded by days to maturity. These results are in accordance with those of Prasanna et al, (2013), Ashok et al, (2016) and Ayesha et al, (2019) for days to maturity, indicating less variation among the genotypes studied.…”

“…Moderate PCV and GCV were recorded for days to 50% flowering (17.23 and 13.90), plant height (17.23 and 13.90), test weight (17.80 and 16.93) and carbohydrate (11.61 and 11.24), respectively. Similar results for days to 50% flowering were indicated by Brunda et al, (2014) and Ayesha et al, (2019); for plant height by Banu et al, (2017) and Kavya et al, (2017); for test weight by Brunda et al, (2014), Smita et al, (2016 and Banu et al, (2017). While, contrary result for carbohydrate i.e., low PCV and GCV were reported by Kavya et al, (2017) and Ayesha et al, (2019).…”

While, contrary result for carbohydrate i.e., low PCV and GCV were reported by Kavya et al, (2017) and Ayesha et al, (2019). These moderate estimates of PCV and GCV revealed that the presence of moderate variation among the genotypes studied for these traits.…”

“…The analysis of variance revealed significant variation among the genotypes for the traits viz., days to 50% flowering, panicle length, productive tillers per plant, days to maturity, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, phosphorus and grain yield per plant (Table 1) indicating a significant amount of variability in the germplasm under study for these traits. Gurunadharao et al, (1984) and Sirisha et al, (2009) for panicle length; Jyosthna et al, (2016) and Smita et al, (2016) for productive tillers per plant; Jadhav et al, (2015) in finger millet for protein; Prasanna et al, (2013), Johar (2015) and Banu et al, (2017) for calcium; Brunda (2014) and Banu et al, (2017) for both iron and zinc; Brunda (2014) for both copper and manganese; Ayesha et al, (2019) for phosphorus; Banu et al, (2017), Kavya et al, (2017) and Ayesha et al, (2019) for grain yield per plant. This high PCV and GCV indicate the presence of higher magnitude of variability in germplasm for the respective traits.…”

“…Mohan et al, (2019) also reported the similar results of higher heritability in broad sense for panicle length and tillers per plant and high heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in tillers per plant followed by test weight (g), panicle length (cm), fodder yield (g) and plant height (cm) in foxtail millet. Ayesha et al, (2019) also found high heritability with high genetic advance for number of tillers per plant, inflorescence length, flag leaf blade width, single plant yield and yield per plot observed that GCV were lesser than the corresponding PCV. Singamsetti et al, (2018) also reported that the grain yield and its contributing characteristics such as plant height, panicle length showed high genetic advance as per cent of mean with high estimates of heritability.…”
