Abstract

Forty half sib progenies in open pollinated seedling seed orchard of Grewia optiva Drummond were evaluated for morphometric and fodder quality traits. The analysis of variance indicated highly significant differences among the various half sib families for all the traits. The experimental results revealed that out of 40 families, ten families viz., SI-15, SO-3, HA-2, HA-3,HA-4,SO-7,SH-7,SO-4,SI-6 and  SI-14 were found superior on the basis of overall mean performance for all quantitative and qualitative traits under study. Hence, these ten half sib families in the seedling seed orchard can be used in further breeding programme and providing mother’s replica.
