Due to lack of space for&#13;
maintaining perfect isolation distance (1000 m) during the main 'cropping&#13;
season, seed regeneration of several varieties and populations of pearl millet can&#13;
be undertaken by planting each population in large plots (&gt;2500 m2&#13;
) in square&#13;
fields, discarding the border rows of 6-8 m on all the 4 sides followed by grid&#13;
mass selection to represent equally all the component genotypes in the&#13;
population. This system not only maintains mean performance of the&#13;
populations with much ease but reduces possible genetic losses that may be&#13;
caused by cooler climate, unidirectional winds representing unfavourable and a&#13;
typical environment in the off-season................</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Millets</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">1990</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Indian Society of Plant Genetic Resources</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
