Abstract
Genetic analysis was conducted for a 15-parent diailel cross, (F1s, excluding reciprocals) of pearl millet, grown in 3 different environments. The yield components studied were head weight, head length and head number per plant. For all the characters, both additive and non-additive kinds of genetic variances were present with a predominance for the latter. However, in the presence of high g x e interactions, the estimates of gene number differentiating the parents were underestimated and also, the heritabilities were underestimated. Based on the gca effects of the parents and the sca effects of the hybrids emanating from high gca parents, It has heen shown that the material presented good potentialities for line selection which might be valuable in developing hybrids as well as for developing synthetics/composites
