A large number of finger millet (Eleusine coracana Gaertn) genotypes were tested in Varietal
Trial during the normal growlng seasons of 20 10 and 2011 with an objective of identifying
su itable high yielding genotypes of finger millet for the mid bill environment of mid-western
regions of Nepal. A total of 9 genotypes including farmers local were evaluated in varietal
trial in two consecutive years of2011 and 2012 res pectively. Genotypes GE 0116 (3137.41
kg/ba), GE 5001 (271 0.25 kg/ha), Kabre Kodo-1 (2650.30 kg!ha) and K.LE-192 (2632 .20
kg/ha) were superior in grain yield. The combined data revealed that days to maturity, plant
height, bearing heads/m2 and grain yield significantly differed among the tested genotypes.
