Abstract: The current experiment study on induced mutation in kodomillet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) was carried out in Kharif 2023 at the Research cum Instructional Farm of S.G. College of Agriculture and Research Station, Kumhrawand, Jagdalpur, Bastar (C.G.). Induced Percentage improvement in M3 generation of mutant lines of kodomillet compared with check varieties Indira kodo-1.For the assessment of percentage improvement in mutant lines of kodomillet among 500 mutant lines evaluated, 110 mutant lines are best performed for number of grains per panicle, 111 mutant lines exhibited better improvement for grains weight per panicle and 110 mutant lines performed best for test weigth when compared to check variety (Indira kodo-1). The maximum improvement in the menifestation of yield was showed by number of grains per panicle followed by grains weight per panicle, test weight and length of raceme suggesting scope for improvement in these traits.
