Abstract

Data were recorded for seven yield components in 35 Indian varieties, 75 Indian inbreds, 40 African varieties and 50 American inbreds. Heritability in the broad sense was generally medium to low. Leaf size, leaf number, tiller number and plant height were the most important yield components but lateness and stem thickness also contributed to green fodder yield. Differential partial regression coefficients were significant in the various groups of varieties
