Abstract: The present experiment was conducted to portray the core collection of germplasm accessions; with special reference to trait specific classification, screening for blast disease and cross combination studies, during Kharif 2020-21 at Research cum Instructional Farm, S G College of Agriculture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, IGKV, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. In iron profiling, The iron content in the evaluated sample were recorded between 2.04 to 4.60 mg/100g of grain with the mean of 3.07 mg/100g.Entry GEC122 had maximum iron content (4.60 mg/100g) over the genotypes under current evaluation environment; which was followed by GEC69 (4.45 mg/100g), GEC11 (4.42 mg/100g), IC0477890 (4.05 mg/100g), IC0476864 (3.96 mg/100g), GEC270 (3.56 mg/100g), IC0477406 (3.55 mg/100g), GEC132 (3.50 mg/100g), IC0476838 (3.30 mg/100g), IC0476707 (3.29 mg/100g) and GEC352 (3.29 mg/100g). Among the check varieties GPU-28 recorded maximum content (3.92 mg/100g) followed by CG Ragi, GPU-67 and IR 01 (3.50, 3.25 and 3.13 mg/100g respectively).When percent superiority over the check varieties were taken into consideration; genotype GEC122 recorded maximum superiority 17.22 % over the best check variety for the trait. The other genotypes which outyielded were GEC69 and GEC11 with 13.52 and 12.63 % superiority against the best check.
