Unlocking the Potential of Pearl Millet for Enhanced Nutrition and Yield
A study on pearl millet genotypes found significant differences in traits like plant height, panicle length, and grain yield. These traits showed high heritability and genetic advance, suggesting they are mainly influenced by genes and can be improved through selection. Traits like dry fodder yield, panicle weight, and plant height directly impact grain yield, indicating they can be targeted for enhancing pearl millet production. The study highlights the importance of genetic variability and heritability in determining grain micronutrient concentration and yield in pearl millet.
