Abstract

The expectations of genetic improvement in forage pearl millel (Pmnisrrt~m arricanum (L) K Schum] for single cut and double cut system were scanned through 64 genotypes.. The chances of improving plant height, Ieaf number, leaf breadth, stem girth and dry matter yield appeared to be relatively better for double cut systeni than for single cut system. The genetic improvement for quality characlers viz. Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF), Hemicellulose (HC) and cell contents (GCI was also expected relatively higher...
