A global composite collection of finger millet germplasm which included ICRISAT corecollection was evaluated for fifteen quantitative characters in augmented design with fourcontrol cultivars during 2007 rainy season. The objectives were to assess the variability andassociation between the characters related to yield. The genotypic variances were highlysignificant for all characters except plot yield. Plot yield exhibited the highest range (0.02 ? 2.6t ha-1). The phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variations varied from 9.59 to 57.13% and11.14 to 64.96% respectively. Heritability estimates ranged from 37.01% for single panicleweight to 98.34% for days to 50 percent flowering. Plot yield was strongly associated positivelywith productive tillers, number of fingers and days to 50 percent flowering. Generally, theresult revealed the existence of variability for the characters studied in finger millet genotypes
