“…Strong correlation between iron and zinc suggested that there is a possibility of improvement of both the traits simultaneously. Similar results were earlier reported by Sharma, (2018) andSubbulakshmi et al (2018). These results state that there is independence between agronomic and nutrient traits (Fe, Zn and protein).…”

The present investigation consists of 98 genotypes (two CMS lines, 30 testers, 60 hybrids and six checks) studied to assess the magnitude of genetic variability and character association of iron, zinc and protein with other agronomic traits. Pearl millet grain has rich iron content, zinc content and protein and are essential for human nutrition. Estimation of genetic parameters viz., variability, heritability, genetic advance will provide the basis for selecting systematic breeding strategy to improve the genotypes with desirable traits. Moderate PCV and GCV values were observed for grain iron and protein content, high PCV and GCV values were observed for zinc content. Influence of environment on these traits is low because of the less difference between the estimates of GCV and PCV. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was observed for zinc content. Strong correlation was observed between grain iron and zinc content and their weak correlations with other agronomic traits indicated there is a possibility to breed high grain Fe and Zinc contents simultaneously in different plant agronomic backgrounds might be suitable for different agro-climatic regions.

“…Moderate heritability coupled with moderate genetic advance as percentage of mean were recorded for length of inflorescence, 1000 grain weight and plant height, suggesting that both additive and non-additive gene activity is present in the transmission of these traits. Bezaweletaw et al [21] in Ethiopian finger millet except for length of inflorescence, Basavaraj et al [22] in pearl millet except for 1000 grain weight, Anuradha et al [14], Patel et al [23] in little millet except for 1000 grain weight.…”

Kodo millet is well- known for its low glycemic index, high nutritional content (iron, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus), resistance to drought and reliable sources of protein. Kodo millet is naturally a gluten-free crop. Kodo millet is not only a healthy and adoptable crop, but it also contributes to sustainable agriculture and food security in drought-affected regions. Present study was carry out to know the extent of genetic variability and estimation of correlation and path coefficient. This field experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications during Kharif 2020 at experimental area of small millet project, instructional farm, Department of Plant Breeding & Genetics JNKVV, College of Agriculture Rewa (M.P). The data was recorded for 14 quantitative characters of 30 kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) genotypes to estimate the genetic variability, phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variance, correlation and path coefficient. The analysis of variance demonstrate that genotypes differ significantly for all the characters included in the study. The coefficients of variation at phenotypic (PCV) and (GCV) levels was observed in harvest index, biological yield per plant and number of tillers per plant. High heritability accompanied with high genetic advance as percentage of mean were recorded for number of tillers per plant, flag leaf length, harvest index, biological yield per plant, peduncle length, flag leaf width, length of longest raceme, thumb raceme length and grain yield per plant. Correlation analysis revealed that grain yield had a strong positive and highly significant association with biological yield per plant followed by flag leaf length, harvest index, flag leaf width, plant height, 1000 grain weight and peduncle length. Path coefficient analysis at phenotypic level revealed the harvest index have the greatest positive direct effect on grain yield per plant followed by biological yield per plant, flag leaf length, 1000 grain weight, day to maturity, number of tillers per plant, plant height, flag leaf width, length of inflorescence and peduncle length whereas, negative direct effects on grain yield per plant was contributed by days to 50% flowering, thumb raceme length and length of longest raceme. Genotypes RPS900, RPS921, RPS828, RPS963, RPS693, KMV565 and KMV559 have been verified as high-yielding varieties, hence these genotypes might be utilized for future breeding programs in Kodo millet.

“…Pearl millet is rich in thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), and niacin (B6). A lot of pearl millet grain is also utilized for livestock feed, poultry feed, and alcohol extraction [10]. Whole grain cereals have the most energy (784cal/kg) Pearl millet has more protein and fat than sorghum [11].…”

Small-grained millets are warm-weather, annual cereals in the grass family. The three most significant millets grown in India are ragi (finger millet), bajra (pearl millet), and jowar (sorghum). Proso (Cheena), Kodo (Kodra, Arikelu), Fox tail (Kangni/Korra), Barnyard (Varai, Sawa), and little millet (Kutki) are only a few of the small millets that are grown in our nation. Millets have grown to be significant crops in Asia, and their global output has sharply increased. Less biotic and abiotic stress can affect them. In comparison to other major cereals, millet grains provide a particularly noteworthy source of minerals (iron and zinc), fibre, and carbohydrates. To promote millets' production and consumption, the Indian government declared them Nutri-Cereals in April 2018. Millets included are Sorghum (Jowar), Pearl Millet (Bajra), Finger Millet (Ragi/Mandua) & Minor Millets namely; Foxtail Millet (Kangani/Kakun), Proso Millet (Cheena), Kodo Millet (Kodo), Barnyard Millet (Sawa/Sanwa/ Jhangora), Little Millet (Kutki) and two Pseudo -millets viz Buckwheat (Kuttu) and Amaranthus (Chaulai). The UN declared 2023 the International Year of Millets (IYoM-2023) in order to increase domestic and international demand and to supply people with nutrient-rich meals. The significance of millets in the current environment is emphasised in this overview, along with the nutritional advantages and other health advantages of the main millet crops grown in India. Millets may show to be a crop with the ability to contribute to the security of food and nutrition.
