    Abstract

    The productivity of pearl millet is very low (600-700 kg/ha) in about 3.5 m ha drought-prone environments of western India having rainfall of <400mm per annum. The cultivar choice is limited to farmers in this region. This investigation targeted to evaluate the potential of three-way hybrids (TWH) for adaptation to drought and disease- prone environments of this zone.
