Abstract
A total of 208 full sibs were developed from each of two randomly mated populations of Pennisetum americanum using biparental mating. From these full sibs, selections were made for high and low yield. The ten highest yielding full sibs, the ten lowest yielding full sibs, their progenies and the base population of each of the two populations were evaluated for grain yield and six yield components. Compared to the base populations the ten highest yielding full sibs gave higher yield, reduced height and earlier flowering, although these differences were not maintained in the next generation. Grain yield was positively and significantly correlated with all the yield components in all the full sibs and progenies and in both base populations. In the ten highest yielding full sibs only, height was negatively correlated with grain yield
