Abstract
Results of the study disclosed considerable variability among entries within some of the groups on many important agronomic variables taken into consideration. These characteristics included among others height at flowering and at maturity, number of leaves per plant, size of flower head, weight of filled seeds per head and weight of filled seeds and percentage sterility, size of seed, ratio of kernelto hull. The variety Mingren from Taiwan was found to possess a number of desirable characters.
Similarly, the same variety, Mingren (Taiwan) registered the highest numerical yield of seeds. Variety Commander from USA and USDA as well as Peredovik from Isarael ranked second insofar as their potentials and yielding ability compared to the rest of the varieties in their respective group are concerned. However, these varieties did not show any notable statistical edge over the other.
