Description Not Available
A study was conducted during kharif season of 2006, 2007
and 2008 to estimate stability and genetic variability of
seed and forage yield of improved genotypes of marvel
grass (Dichanthium annulatum (Forssk.) Stapf). GxE
interaction was significant for all the characters viz., plant
height, number of tillers/plant, green fodder yield, dry
fodder yield and seed yield (kg/ha). G x E (linear) was also
significant for all these five characters, indicating
substantial amount of predictable G x E interaction. All
seven genotypes were tested for three stability parameters,
namely, mean, bi and S2di. It is concluded that the direct
selection for plant height along with simultaneous
selection for tillers per plant will be responsive for
improvement of dry fodder yield and seed yield per plant.
The results provide useful information to aid the choice
of marvel grass genotypes for the north western arid area
of Gujarat. CAZRI-BH-DA-2 should be included in breeding
programme intended to develop high yielding stable
genotype.
