Abstract: High estimates of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation were recorded for plant height, number of primaries per panicle, panicle type, glume coverage, grain color field grain mold rating, threshed grain mold rating, grain yield per plant, fodder yield, glume color, germination percentage and grain hardness. While traits with moderate GCV and PCV values were panicle length and 100-seed weight. Days to 50% flowering, days to maturity and grain density were categorized as low. The characters plant height, number of primaries per panicle, grain color, FGMR, grain yield, TGMR, fodder yield, glume color and grain hardness expressed high estimate of heritability accompanied with moderate to high genetic advance indicating additive gene action and thus selection for these characters in genetically diverse material would be more effective for desired genetic improvement. significant and positive correlation of grain yield were observed with characters viz., panicle length, number of primaries per plant, fodder yield per plant, 100- seed weight days to 50% flowering, plant height, panicle length, number of primaries per panicle and fodder yield per plant positive direct effect on grain yield per plant at both genotypic and phenotypic level.
