Description |
The present investigation was carried out to achieve two objectives. Under the first objective for identifying the promising, pearl millet lines among the 103 pearl millet genotypes (46 inbreds, 46 designated B-lines and 11 hybrids/composites) for their nutritional characters viz. crude protein, total antioxidant activity (TAA), phytate, micronutrients (Fe and Zn) and total phenols were grown during kharif-2013 and kharif-2014. Significant variation was observed in all the parameters during both the seasons. All the hybrids/composite except HHB 67imp and WHC 901-445 demonstrated excellent antioxidant capacity. On the basis of mean performance of two successive seasons 8 advance inbreds viz. DPHBL 11-123, H 1305, HBL-112/H12/1011, HBL 0843-04, LPBL 10/112, LPBL 10/120, H 0620 and 94/54-1 and 14 designated B-lines viz. HMS 7B-1, HMS 14B, HMS 16B, HMS 18B, HMS 21B, HMS 26B, HMS 32B, HMS 36B, HMS 39B, HMS 46B, HMS 52B, HMS 53B, HMS 59B and ICMB 89111 were selected as promising for different nutritional characters. A significant positive correlation was observed between Fe and Zn contents (r = 0.523 to 0.702, P |
