%X In the six cultivars and four hybrids of Pennisetum americanum studied, grain yield was found to be significantly correlated with average afternoon leaf diffusion resistance of the abaxial surface (LDRab) under irrigated (r = -0.90) and nonirrigated (r = -0.72) field conditions
%Z The INTSORMIL Program at Kansas State Univ. provided financial support and the Evapotranspiration Laboratory,  Dep. of Agronomy, Kansas, the facilities to carry out this work; W.D. Stegmeier (Fort Hays Experiment Station, Hays, Kans.) provided pearl millet seeds used. The senior author (PS) gratefully acknowledges ICRISAT (India) for the grant of study leave
