Abstract

Millet seeds from three locations (Jodhpur, Barmer and Jaisalmer) in semi-arid Rajasthan were planted and subsequent growth monitored for first flowering, 50% flowering, maturity, number of productive tillers per plant, plant height and grain yield per plant. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among all cultivars for all six features. Plants from Jaisalmer district flowered sooner and matured more quickly (81 days), but cultivars from Barmer outyielded both Jaisalmer and Jodhpur varieties of pearl millet
