Total biomass, seed yield and transpiration efficiency in pearl millet hybrid (ICMH-356) and OPV<br />

(ICMV-221)<br />

Conclusion<br />

Transpiration ratio (TR) which is the ratio <strong>of</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> water transpired by a plant during its<br />

growing season to the weight <strong>of</strong> seed produced, decreased from 639 L H 2O/kg seed in OPV to<br />

479.4 L H2O/kg seed in hybrid. Results clearly show that 25% less water was transpired to produce<br />

a kilogram seed suggesting that less water will be required for hybrid compared to open pollinated<br />

variety. Hybrids have high TE compared to open pollinated varieties.<br />
