Rational
“If we had known how to select for high yield
potential using criteria other than grain yield,
perhaps results could have been achieved by
way of enhanced total plant productivity rather
than just by changing the production ratio.”
- Blum (2005)

Objectives
1. To assess genetic diversity in morpho-physiological
traits (shoot & root) in finger millet genotypes.
2. To investigate important associations between
various morpho-physiological traits and yield in the
finger millet genotypes.
3. To classify the finger millet genotypes into various
groups on the basis of morpho-physiological traits.

Output & Outcome
Output Morpho-physiological shoot & root traits (phenotypic)
data and information of finger millet genotypes.
Outcome Generation of new knowledge on finger millet genotypes
and development of new locally adapted climate resilient
and more productive finger millet for smallholder farmers.

Technical Programme
Procurement of finger millet genotypes/accessions/varieties from various
sources viz., AICRP Millets Centres, NBPGR.
First year – kharif 2015 - in augmented design with checks at Ranchi
centre under normal field conditions at Ranchi.
Second year – kharif 2016 under abiotic stress conditions at two locations
(Chota Nagpur Plateau and Deccan Plateau).
Periodic recording of morpho-physiological traits (shoot & root), growth and
development. And yield & yield attributes at final harvest.
Data analysis, report writing and public release of data-sets.
