“…On the other hand, seven hybrids were found significant over 86 M 38, presented in table 2. Many earlier researchers have also obtained the similar results (Maryam, 2015;Rafiq et al, 2016 andAcharya et al, 2017).…”

The line x tester analysis involving ninety hybrids, thirty three parents (three lines and thirty testers) and three checks including national check GHB558, commercial checks Kaveri super boss and 86 M 38 were used to assess the magnitude of heterosis with respect to grain and dry fodder yield and its component traits in pearl millet under rainfed conditions during kharif, 2019 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Vijayapur. Twentysix hybrids exhibited significant positive standard heterosis over check GHB 558, twelve hybrids over check Kaveri super boss and three hybrids over best check 86 M 38 for grain yield per hectare. Whereas, thirteen hybrids over GHB558, none of hybrids over Kaveri super boss and 86 M 38 exhibited significant positive standard heterosis for dry fodder yield per hectare. Two hybrids viz., ICMA 94555 x IP 17465 and ICMA 94555 x IP 14522were superior for both grain and dry fodder yield.

“…It can be grown in a wide range of soils but does not prefers acidic and water logging soils. Pearl millet can grow in a wide range of ecological conditions like drought stress and high temperature (Acharya et al, 2017). In Asia, pearl millet is the most important cereal crop, which is grown widely in India, Pakistan, Syria, Myanmar and Saudi Arabian arid and semi-arid regions.…”

The present study was conducted to estimate the combining ability and heterosis in pearl millet hybrids. Forty five pearl millet hybrids were developed using three male sterile lines (A line) with fifteen restore lines (R line) through the Line x Tester mating approach and were evaluated during kharif, 2018. Analysis of variance revealed that the mean square of treatments showed significance for all the traits. For days to 50 % flowering and days to maturity, lines viz., ICMA 93333, ICMA 97111, BIB 186, BIB 193 and BIB 281 had negative gca effect so these lines can be used as parents for hybrid development under harsh environmental conditions. Based on sca effect, heterosis and per se performance, crosses ICMA 97111 x BIB 208, ICMA 93333 x BIB 186 and ICMA 88004 x BIB 283 were identified as potential crosses for commercial exploitation of heterosis in pearl millet.

“…the important component of human diet and stover forms the principal maintenance ration for ruminant livestock during the dry season. It is a drought tolerant cereal having the maximum potentiality of grain production in adverse climatic conditions (Acharya et al, 2017). As pearl millet is grown predominantly in warm rainy season, heavy infestation of weeds deprives the crop of vital nutrients, moisture, light and space leading to heavy reduction in grain yield.…”
