Six bajra hybrids and eight parental lines were tested during summer 2002 to know their response against problematic soils and saline irrigation water. The hybrid GHB-526 was recorded significantly superior in grain yield whereas GHB-316 was found significantly better for fodder yield, but both the hybrids were observed at par with GHB-559 in both cases. In case of growth and yield attributing parameters, the GHB-559 recorded significantly higher plant height and plant stand whereas 94555A recorded higher number of tillers and 81A recorded more ear head length. The difference in test weight was found to be non-significant.
