Abstract: Forty Finger millet genotypes were sown during kharif 2004 at Dr. B.S.K.K.V., Dapoli. Mean protein content among the 40 genotypes was recorded as 8.6% and range as 6.41 to 11.55% rich. Protein genotypes could be identified as OEB 101 (11.55%), ACPR (11.08%), RAU-8 (10.85), OEB-22 (10.85%), VR-708 (10.61), MR-33 (10.50%), VL-149 (10.15) and OEB-65(9.21). The genotypes DPI-20114, VL-326, L-48, L-112, OEB-22, VL-315, VL-322, RAU-8, OEB 101, GPU-58 and VR 847 were found to be superior for albumin and globulin combination. Desirable genotypes for higher globulin and lower prolamine content were identified as DPI-201l4, L-112, VL-315 and VL-322. Mean calcium content was recorded as 362.33 mg/100g and range was recorded as 186.67 to 600.00 mg/100g. Most promising genotypes L-48 and ACPR-l, contains highest calcium (600 mg/100g). Other calcium rich genotypes could be identified as OEB-l0l (586.67), VR-849 (546.67), ACPR-2 (533.33), VR-847 (520.00), OEB-56 (570.00) and PES 110 (493.33). The genotype DPI-20132 (28.00 MG/100G g) contains highest iron content over all the genotypes. General mean and range for the population was recorded as 14.99 mg/100g and 7.50 to 28.00 mg/100g respectively. However, more iron content was recorded in the genotypes VL-149 (26.33), L-48 (25.00), DPI-20119 (22.66), GPU-56 (22.63) and GPU-57 (20.26). Higher genetic advance component with high heritability was recorded for the character calcium content indicated additive gene action for expression of this character.
