Highly significant differences for fodder yield and its components were observed among ten genotypes, Phenotypic coefficients of variability were higher than the genotypic ones. Heritability values for plant height, tiller number, leaf number, leaf area, green and dry matter yields were high. GA estimates were higher for all traits except tiller number and leaf number. High heritability, accompanied by genotypic correlation, and genetic advance for plant height showed that the indirect selection for this character will only be 3.07% less effective comparing to direct selection for fodder yield.
