Abstract: The current point of inquiry is named“Trait specific evaluation of advance generation genotypes for grain yield in finger millet (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn)”took place at the New Upland Research Cum Instructional Farm, Lamker Under the S.G. College of Agriculture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, Bastar (C.G.) India, during kharif 2022. In Randomized Complete Block Desing (RCBD).The experiment was conducted to phenotypically evaluate characteristics associated with grain yield. Total of 29 finger millet genotypes including 1 local check (CG Ragi 02) were examined for 4 qualitative characters and 12 quantitative traits, during Kharif-2022 and 16 descriptors were examinedto establish the genotypes of finger millet as being morphologically different from one another. Descriptors are selected in accordance with the guidance for conducting DUS characterisation on finger millet, using PPV and FRA.The following descriptors were analysed for the research. The analysis of variance revealed very substantial differences between the 29 genotypes for each trait. A semi-compact ear is one of the genotypes which were looked at (49%), copper-coloured seeds (31%),pigmentation absent at the leaf juncture (69%),and seed shape round shape seeds (59%)were seen to be commonplace.In contrast, late span for days to 50% blooming is a quantitative feature (97%), Medium maturation (52%), medium range of plant height (90%), long range of flag leaf length (72%), medium leaf width (93%), medium finger length (59%), medium finger width (97%), medium finger number (100%), moderate test weight (97%) genotypes, high range harvest index (59%) genotypes, and high yield grain (38%) genotypes are all recorded.
Keywords: Eleusine coracana, Genotype, qualitative traits
