FORMULATION OF SELECTION INDICES IN FINGER MILLET (ELEUSINE CORACANA GAERTN.)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Nonsignificant association and low heritability for grain yield in two intervarietal crosses of finger millet suggested that the selection based on grain yield in early generations is not advantageous. Selection indices formulated in F3 populations including plant height and number of productive tillers in the cross HR-911 x Indaf-9; ear weight, straw weight and harvest Index in the cross Indaf-8 x HR-41·2 were the best indices for indirect selection for grain yield.
