Narrative
Restorer population of pearl millet topcross grain hybrid, ICMH 312. Height medium (179-190cm). Seed large (15g 1000 grain -1). Flowers early (45-46 days to 50% flowering). Panicles medium length (19-23cm), compact to semi-compact, and cylindrical to lanceolate. Showed high and stable resistance to downy mildew in India. Across 6 locations in India and West Africa in 1991 had 13% mean downy mildew incidence compared to 19% incidence on the resistant control, P7. Used as good source for breeding downy mildew resistant pollinator.
