A field trial involving seven dual-type millet varieties was conducted at National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad to determine the interrelationships among agronomic characters and quality characters viz. crude protein, crude fat, ash, crude fibre and nitrogen free extract. The results suggested a highly significant and positive correlation of plant height with the number of leaves per tiller, and tillers per plant. The plant height also showed a positive correlation with the green fodder yield (GFY) and dry matter yield (DMY), but a non-significant and negative association with leaf area and quality characters. Leaves per tiller showed a significant and positive correlation with GFY and a highly significant and positive association with DMY, but the association with the remaining agronomic characters was negative and non-significant.
