Abstract
⺠Trends in variability in inbreds and hybrids, association between food-fodder traits and GCA of inbred lines assessed. ⺠We found higher genotypic variation for food-feed traits and association between traits had similar trend in hybrids and inbreds. ⺠GCA, indicative of the additive gene effect was important for most stover fodder quality traits. ⺠The relationship of line per se with hybrid performance and GCA were positive and significant for most stover fodder quality traits. ⺠Selection of inbred lines at early stage of inbred line development is the best strategy for the development of food-feed type of inbred lines.
