The present investigation was conducted with 87 germplasm accessions of barnyard millet along with two checks (VL181 and PRJ-1). The data was recorded for 13 morphological and 10 yield attributing traits. All accessions were observed to have erect growth habit and one-sided spikelet arrangement with complete absence of lower raceme branching. Majority of germplasm entries exhibit presence of culm branching and concave grain shape. | Genetic analysis of barnyard millet (Echino chloafrumentacea (Roxb.)
