Facilitating SMTA: We have facilitated three SMTAs to augment 107 acc. of IS lines of sorghum which has been assigned the SPV Nos, 132 acc. of pearl millet germplasm, 263 acc. of wild relatives of millet. 3. Characterization of Sorghum germplasm during Rabi 2017-18 3.1: Characterization of 2032 acc. of Sorghum germplasm under Consortium Research Platform on Agrobiodiversity (CRP-AB) during 2017-18 at ICAR-IIMR-Hyderabad A total of 2032 accessions under CRP-AB were characterized at ICAR-IIMR–Hyderabad during Rabi 2017-18 along with two checks viz., CSV 29R and M35-1 in an Augmented Block Design. The checks were repeated in every 100 acc. One metre row length, 60 cm as distance between the rows at and 10-15 cm distance between the plants was maintained. Data on 9 quantitative and 13 qualitative traits were collected. The plant height was the most variable character followed by grain yield, days to 50% flowering, leaf length (cm), ear head length (cm) etc., The descriptive statistics on 9 quantitative traits are presented in Table 8.

Characterization of Small millet germplasm during Kharif 2018 5.1: Characterization of 2013 acc. of Finger millet germplasm under Consortium Research Platform on Agrobiodiversity (CRP-AB) during Kharif 2018 at ICAR-IIMR-Hyderabad A total of 2013 accessions of finger millet under CRP-AB were characterized at ICAR-IIMR–Hyderabad during Kharif 2018 along with three checks viz., DHFM 78-3, GPU 28 and GPU 67 in an Augmented Block Design. The checks were repeated in every 100 acc. One metre row length, 45 cm as distance between the rows at and 10-15 cm distance between the plants was maintained. Data on 11 quantitative and 9 qualitative traits were collected. The grain yield was the most variable character followed by plant height, days to 50% flowering, flag leaf blade length etc., The descriptive statistics on 11 quantitative traits of 2013 acc. of finger millet germplasm characterized during Kharif 2018 is presented in Table 26.

5.2: Characterization of 2336 acc. of Foxtail millet germplasm under Consortium Research Platform on Agrobiodiversity (CRP-AB) during Kharif 2018 at ICAR-IIMR-Hyderabad A total of 2336 accessions of foxtail millet under CRP-AB were characterized at ICAR-IIMR–Hyderabad during Kharif 2018 along with three checks viz., SiA 3156, Suryanandi and SiA 3085 in an Augmented Block Design. The checks were repeated in every 100 acc. One metre row length, 45 cm as distance between the rows at and 10-15 cm distance between the plants was maintained. Data on qualitative and 18 qualitative traits were collected.
