Abstract
Of seven characters studied in 30 varieties, fodder yield showed the highest genetic coefficient of variability and, with number of days to flowering, the highest estimates of heritability in the broad sense. Heritability estimates for stem girth and the number, length and breadth of leaves were lower than those for fodder yield, indicating limited scope for improvement by selection. Fodder yield was significantly and positively correlated with the latter four characters, both phenotypically and genotypically and these four characters were also correlated with one another. Path-coefficient analysis indicated that length and breadth of leaf, and stem girth contribute most to fodder yield.
