- Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the correlation coefficients among the grain yield and yield contributing characters in 14 parental lines (4 lines and 10 testers) and their 40 hybrids of pearl millet. Positive and significant correlations were observed for 1000 seed weight followed by fodder yield per plant, harvest index, earhead girth, number of effective tillers per plant, earhead length and plant height while, negative association with days to 50% flowering at both genotypic and phenotypic level with grain yield per plant. Based on correlations analysis, it is concluded that the selection for these characters would help improve the yield potential of pearl millet.
