Finger millet is an excellent source of mineral elements specifically calcium and iron. The
iron content in the ruling variety, GPU-28 is 5.47 mg/100g. Identification of germplasm
lines superior to GPU-28 would help in identifying nutritionally superior genotypes and
also to serve as genetic resource for recombination breeding. For such screening, use of
appropriate procedure and bench mark values are highly useful. Hence, the present study
was conducted to confirm the estimation procedure and to arrive at bench mark values for
grain iron content in popular varieties. The elemental analysis was carried out in two
laboratories. The results of the study indicated a positive correlation between the two
laboratories for iron content and confirmed the appropriateness of procedure used for
digestion and AAS estimation. Among the varieties, the iron content was significantly
superior in GPU-67 (6.52 mg/100g) compared to the GPU-28 and hence, this variety and
grain iron content can be considered as a variety with bench mark value for screening large
number of germplasm lines.
