Abstract
High-yielding bajra hybrids, 14, were grown in Delhi in 1970-71 with fertilizer applications of N 40, K 40 and P 20 kg/ha. The wholemeal contained moisture 9.0 to 11.0, protein 11.31 to 19.62, starch 59.35 to 69.49, crude fibre 1.27 to 2.96, total sugar 2.01 to 2.70, fat 3.0 to 4.6, ash 1.55 to 2.65% and, per 100 g DM, Ca 35 to 62 mg, P 245 to 348, phytin P 35 to 221, Fe 2.1 to 5.2 mg, carotene 4.15 to 6.47 mu g/g, 1000 grain weight was 4.65 to 11.90 g and protein/1000 grains 0.67 to 1.77 g. Hybrid D-770 was promising, with high contents of protein, 19.62, fat 4.50%, Ca 62 and P 323 mg/100 g DM and low contents of starch, 59.35, crude fibre 1.81% and phytin P 35 mg/100 g DM.
