Abstract
Grain of Eleusine coracana 'Hamsa' with a moisture content of 10-11% was treated with 20 kR gamma rays and 0.8-1.2 kR fast neutrons. The frequency of early M2 mutants with ears more open than in Hamsa was 2.09-6.87%. The mutants with open ears were taller than Hamsa, with more inflorescences per plant. They were of three types: mutant I (semicompact), mutant II (open) and mutant III (lax), with a grain-bearing area per ear of 51.95, 46.12 and 56.75 cm2, respectively, as against 34.78 cm2 in Hamsa
