A field experiment was conducted to assess variation in physiological, biochemical and yield attributes,
influencing production potential, of 20 pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) accessions (ICFH-1 to 20) under
saline irrigation (EC 6.0 dS m-1). Among the twenty accessions, ICFH-15 recorded the highest relative water
content (88.38 and 77.99 %), total chlorophyll content (66.75 and 59.87 μg ml-1 FW) and total soluble protein
(39.98 and 25.50 mg g-1 DW) at 50 and 80 days after sowing, respectively. However, accession ICFH-4 showed
the highest membrane injury (15.73 and 24.33%) at respective stages. ICFH-7 accumulated the maximum
proline (2.70 and 5.54 μg g-1 FW), total soluble sugar (20.54 and 20.76 mg g-1 DW), epicuticular wax content
(2.85 and 4.44 mg g-1 DW) at the two stages. The maximum dry matter yield was achieved in ICFH-15 (14.83
Mg ha-1) followed by ICFH-16 (13.46 Mg ha-1). Whereas the highest grain yield was recorded in accession
ICFH-5 (3.68 Mg ha-1) followed by ICFH-2 and ICFH-7 (3.14 Mg ha-1). Our results suggested that ICFH -15
and ICFH -16 were suitable for dry matter yield (dry fodder purpose) while accessions ICFH-5, ICFH-2 and 7
for higher grain yield under saline irrigation conditions of north-western India and elsewhere under similar
agro-climatic conditions.
