description: The global composite collection of finger millet (1000 accessions) was evaluated to study the  variability for six qualitative traits under field condition in three environments. Wider variation  for all the qualitative traits was observed and racial wise wild races africana and spontanea  had more diversity for all qualitative traits. However the cultivated races showed difference  in inflorescence shape. Most of the cultivated race accessions were predominated by the  erect plant habit, green pigmented, top curved, low glume prominence and light brown seed  colour. Genetic diversity in these traits can be used by broadening gene pool through national  and international sources, wide hybridization, mutation or other genetic modification.
