Selection for high protein with high seed yield traits in promising genotypes of grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.)
Author(s): RK Yadav
Abstract: Study was conducted to select the traits for seed yield and protein involving genotypes of grain amaranth at instructional farm of Indira Gandhi Agricultural University, Raipur during Rabi 2015-16. Highly significant differences among genotypes for all the traits studied were observed. PCV was in higher than the corresponding GCV. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as % of mean was higher for grain yield /plant followed by panicle length, protein content and 1000 seed weight indicating that these traits were under additive gene control and simple selection can be used for further improvement in these traits for grain amaranth.
