Abstract

Phenotypic correlations were studied between S1 and inter population half sib progenies in two random mating populations, namely, Harsha and Ashwini. The correlations were significant in both the composites for ear height and days to 50% silk. In case of grain yield, the correlations were not significant revealing that S1 selection had very limited value for this trait.
