Abstract

Forty genotypes of napier grass of diverse origin were used to estimate genetic variability for sixteen characters. Leaf weight, green fodder yield per plant, stem weight, crude fat content, number of leaves and tillers per plant, plant height, crude protein content, and stem diameter recorded high genotypic coefficient of variability, heritability and genetic advance.
