Identification of birdwood grass genotypes with higher
forage yield is essential to boost the use of birdwood
grass for direct consumption to milch animals and to
sustain the arid rangeland. Twenty four germplasm lines
along with one check (CAZRI 76) variety possessing
high forage yield were evaluated for two seasons at
CAZRI, RRS, Kukma, Bhuj. Analysis of data indicated
that the germplasm differed significantly for all the traits.
Genotypes viz., CAZRI- BH-CS- 15 and CAZRI-BH-CS-
3 exhibited high per se performance for green fodder
yield, dry fodder yield and their component characters.
While assessing overall position in both the
environments over pooled basis, the present study
revealed high genetic advance as percentage of mean
(genetic gain) alongwith high estimates of heritability
and genotypic coefficient of variation for number of
leaves per plant, green fodder yield (kg/ha) and dry fodder
yield (kg/ha). On the basis of green and dry fodder yield,
birdwood grass germplasm CAZRI-BH-CS-3, CAZRIBH-
CS-4, CAZRI-BH-CS-7, CAZRI-BH-CS-13, CAZRIBH-
CS-15, CAZRI-BH-CS-16, CAZRI-BH-CS-17, CAZRIBH-
CS-19 and CAZRI-BH-CS-24 appeared promising
which could be gainfully utilized.
