Abstract

The green-fodder yield per plant, leaf size, number of leaves and number of tillers per plant were determined for 160 lines representing Indian varieties, Indian inbred lines, African varieties and American varieties grown at one Indian site for four years. The genotype-environment interaction was high for yield of green fodder and number of tillers per plant in all sources, resulting in low estimates of heritability. Interaction estimates were low for leaf number and also for leaf size in the varieties but not in the inbred lines.
