An attempt was made to evaluate the yield potential of newly-identified genotypes under hot, semi-arid agro-ecological regions of Gujarat. Ten genotypes were evaluated for growth and yield parameters. It was found that effective spikes/plant, swelling factor and total number of spikes/plant were positively correlated with seed yield/plant. AMB - 29 and HI - 5 genotypes were early-maturing types and they took about 111–113 days for crop maturity. HI - 5 and HI - 1 were significantly superior in yield performance to other genotypes. However, maximum seed yield was recorded with HI-5.
