| Abstract: |
Finger millet is the 4111 important food crop in Nepal. It is major food for hilly region of the
country. Finger millet is CQnsidered as more nutritious cereal food. Nepal harbor a lot of the
finger millet germplasm variability across the country that have a lot of breeding value.
Therefore, four hundred and thirty nine finger millet accessions collected from different
parts of the country were evaluated for 19 different qualitative and quantitative traits during
normal finger millet growing season of2009 and 2010. Two rows of 1.5 m long with 20 em
spacing were used on augmented design with Daile, Okhale, Kahre Kodo-1 and GPU-48 as
check varieties. Seed was sown on both rows and plant spacing was maintained for 15 em
after 30 days of seedling emergence. Other cultivation practice was conducted as per
normal condition. A lot of variation was found for both traits. Days to 50% heading, days to
SO% maturity, Effective tiller, Finger no., no. of seed per finger and total grain per spike
varied from 48-101, 79-172, 1-6, 2-10, 65-2597 and 123-2775 respectively. A lot of
variation was also found on ear shape, ear size, grain covering, grain color, grain shape,
grain surface and pericarp persistence characteristics. This variation can be used for the
development of the finger millet varieties for niche specificity and broad adaptability. |
