 ABSTRACT

Finger millet is a hardy crop grown under diverse agro-climatic conditions. Most of the present varieties under cultivation are prone to lodging under cultivation in view of which development of varieties resistant to lodging would be useful in the current agricultural scenario where mechanical harvesting is a common practice. PR 10-45 is a cross derivative of GPU 28 and GE 4931. It is a long duration variety with semi dwarf plant height, erect plant type and sturdy culm with reddish brown semi compact ear heads having top curved fingers, synchronized maturity and unique non lodging character. The culture recorded 11.90% yield advantage over the check variety Godavari (PR 202) in the adaptive minikit trials conducted during 2013-14 to 2016-17. The entry has shown moderate resistant reaction to leaf blight, banded blight and leaf and neck blast diseases. It has also recorded resistance to defoliators (grass hoppers) and ear head caterpillar. The culture PR 10-45 recorded high values of Zinc (2.65mg/100g) and calcium (341.45 mg/100g) when compared to National check varieties GPU 67 and PR 202 (Godavari). Because of competitive performance over the current cultivars in terms of resistance to lodging, PR 10-45 was released for general cultivation in the state of Andhra Pradesh in the year 2020.

Keywords:hardy, Lodging, Minikit, Sturdy culm.
