The researchers studied different pearl millet hybrids to understand their genetic traits related to grain yield under rainfed conditions in Andhra Pradesh. They found that traits like panicle length, panicle diameter, plant height, and days to maturity were closely linked to grain yield. These traits showed a strong positive correlation with grain yield, indicating their importance in improving crop yield. The study highlighted the significance of these traits in developing selection criteria for enhancing grain yield in pearl millet.
