Performance of Different Pearl Millet Genotypes under Irrigated Conditions
Jamal Ishaq | Silvestro Meseka
<p class="Default">Thirty four genotypes of pearl millet( Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br) were evaluated at Sudan. Including two released varieties, Ugandi and Ashana at Gezira Research Farm (GRF) and Rahad Research Farm(RRS) in the autumn of 2009. The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. Grain yield and some yield components including number of productive tillers and panicle length, varied significantly among the thirty four genotypes. Mean of grain yield for all genotypes across sites was 1.3 t/ ha<sup>-1</sup>. Sadag Togo had the highest grain yield (1.7 ha<sup>-1</sup>) followed by Okashana-3 (1.6 t/ha<sup>-1</sup>), while IP 19745 had lowest grain yield (0.8 t/ha<sup>-1</sup>) across tow site.Okashana-3 out yielded the best than check (Ashana). The combined Result for Genotypic coefficient of variability and broad sense heritability estimates grain yield and head weight varied significantly among the thirty four genotypes.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v3i3.11075">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v3i3.11075</a></p> <p>International Journal of Environment Vol.3(3) 2014: 154-163</p>
