Abstract/Description: | Foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.], also known as Italian millet, is valued as a crop of short duration, which is good as food, feed and fodder. Of late, the importance of it was recognized as diabetic food. Foxtail millet provides approximately six million tonnes of food to millions of people, mainly on poor or marginal soils in southern Europe and in temperate, subtropical and tropical Asia. At present in India, foxtail millet is cultivated on a limited area in TS, AP, KA, MH and north eastern states. There is wide genetic diversity available in foxtail millet, and characterizing these resources is a pre-requisite for the genetic improvement of its cultivars. More precise assessment of morphological diversity through characterization and identification of trait specific germplasm is essential. In this context, the present investigation was carried at Centre on Rabi sorghum (ICAR-IIMR), Solapur. A total of 138 Foxtail millet germplasm were evaluated in RCBD with two replications during kharif -2017. Huge amount of variability was observed for various agro-morphological traits. The variability found in Days to flowering (PCV=17.29), Plant height (CV=15.66), Panicle exertion (CV=41.68), Peduncle length (CV=22.71), Grain yield/plant (CV=33.55), Fodder yield/plant (CV=33.55).Qualitative traits viz., plant pigmentation, mid rib colour, leaf colour, and apical sterility was categorized into various classes. Line no. 1003, 1010, 1021, 1025, 1028, 1032, 1037 were of high yielding; Line no. 1043, 1052, 1058, 1065, 1072, 1085 and 1094 were of compact, Non-shattering and non-lodging type. The identified lines may serve as valuable genetic stocks for further crop improvement. |
