| Description |
Pearl millet is a highly cross pollinated crop. Due to lack of space for maintaining perfect isolation distance (1000 m) during the main 'cropping season, seed regeneration of several varieties and populations of pearl millet can be undertaken by planting each population in large plots (>2500 m2 ) in square fields, discarding the border rows of 6-8 m on all the 4 sides followed by grid mass selection to represent equally all the component genotypes in the population. This system not only maintains mean performance of the populations with much ease but reduces possible genetic losses that may be caused by cooler climate, unidirectional winds representing unfavourable and a typical environment in the off-season................ |
