Analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for 22 traits. Large variation among genotypes was found for the traits viz., days to 50% flowering (66-87 days), leaf length (62.1-101.5 cm), leaf width (5.0-9.0 cm), number of leaves/ plant (9-16), plant height (215.1-383.0 cm), ear head length (10.1-34.3 cm), ear head width (3.7-9.5 cm), 100- seed weight (1.7-3.5 g), days to maturity (103-126 days), stem fresh weight/5plants (1063-3200 g) and stem dry weight/5plants (569-2038 g). Selections can be made for traits viz., days to flowering, leaf length, leaf orientation, days to maturity, plant height and grain luster governed by additive gene action.Not Availabl
