Abstract
A set of 380 accessions of pearlmilleet Pennisetum americanum (Linn.) K. Schum = P. typhoides (Burm. f.) Stapf and C.E. Hubb. collected from Rajasthan during 1977 and 1982, evaluated at Patancheru, Hyderabad, during the rainy and post-rainy seasons showed desirable traits like early-maturity, good tillering, drought tolerance and adaptation to arid and semi-arid conditions. In general, they flowered in 60 days, grew tall (200 cm) and produced short (22 cm) but many (3.3) spikes during the rainy season. 'Jakhrana', 'Sulkhania', 'Gullista', 'Karauli' and 'Barmer' were found to be more advanced as they produce basal tillers, longer spikes with non-shattering spikelets and small glumes that partly covered the grain. 'Chadi' and 'Desert' types produced several nodal tillers with sequential maturity of spikes with shattering spikelets having glumes that almost covered the grain.
