Description Pennisetum americanum cv. WC-C75, which was developed at ICRISAT through recurrent selection using the World Composite random-mating population, averaged 98% of the grain yield of the widely grown hybrid BJ104 in 140 replicated tests conducted by the All India Millets Improvement Project from 1977 to 1981. World Composite was constituted in Nigeria in 1971 from derivatives of numerous crosses between worldwide sources of germplasm and Nigerian early maturing land races. A semiearly cultivar, WC-C75 matures about 4 days later than BJ104 but gives 20% more dry fodder, valued as animal feed after grain harvest. WC-C75 has good resistance to Sclerospora graminicola, medium height, bold grains and average grain protein content
