GENETIC DIVERSITY BEHAVIOR OF SOME PEARL MILLET GENOTYPES ACROSS DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS | Journal..

Millet has a strong ability to adapt to biotic stresses, which are essential parameters for genotypes developing in harsh environments.During two active seasons in two separatelocations, this study focused on the differential responses of five millet genotypes under two levels of drought with a decrease in irrigation water at a rate of 20 and 40% relativeto the normal irrigation rate.Breeders have a good chance of selecting genotypes with high yielding and drought resistance based on mean efficiency, tolerance indices, and environmental variance in different environments. On the basis of these parameters,According to the results of the stover and grain yield reliability tests, Line 1 is the best in terms of desirable higher stover, while Shandawil cultivar isthe best in terms of grain yield. However, when it came to having a high yield for both stover and grain, Line 3 was chosen.As a result, the emphasis of this research is on how to make an objective assessment of genotypes in various environments to aid plant breeders in identifying the most appropriate and stable genotypes for yield in the face of changing environmental conditions.
