Abstract
Ragi EC. 4849. a brown grained selection from an Andhra Pradesh variety developed by pureline breeding was evaluated for yield and other economic attributes over several locations in the State of Tamil Nadu from 1971 to 1977. The selection matured in 90-95 days and found to be superior in grain yield to the high yielding ruling strain Co. 10 by 10 per cent in the rosearch centres and 15 per cent in the cultivators fields. In All India trials also the selection proved its superiority. It possessed saline tolerance and contained a higher percentage of protein (10,86). The Oragi selection has thus, been released as a new high yielding strain Co 11 for general cultivation in the Tamil Nadu State.
