ABSTRACT
The present investigation was carried during kharif, 2020 at Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla, Andhra Pradesh, in order to study morphological characterization and genetic divergence with 64 genotypes in square lattice design with two replications. Morphological characterization of 64 foxtail millet genotypes for 20 DUS traits revealed existence of ample polymorphism for qualitative and quantitative characters. It was observed that majority of the genotypes exhibited erect growth habit, green plant pigmentation, absence of plant pigmentation at auricle, long bristles, loose inflorescence compactness, medium panicle lobing and lobe compactness and light grey colour grains. Whereas in quantitative characters higher level of polymorphism was observed towards tall plant height, low number of productive tillers per plant, medium flag leaf blade length, width and peduncle length, short panicle exertion, long panicle length, narrow panicle width, medium in days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity and medium test weight.
