abstract: 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.
