Six hybrid varieties, viz. 'VR 250-6', 'VZM 1', 'VZM 2', 'C 157', 'APK 2' and 'Godavari', of fingermillet Eleusine coracana (Linn.) Gaertn. showed no variation in ash and N content. The concentrations of P, Ca and Cu were more in 'VZM 1' than the other hybrids. 'VR 250-6' showed the highest content of Fe. Protein content (N x 6.25) varied from 8.0 in 'Godavari' to 12.1% in 'C 157'. Glutelins and prolamines were found as major proteins in all these hybrids. Hybrid 'C 157' had maximum glutelins (6.6%)
