Abstract
One hundred-thirty-two interespecific hybrids obtained through dialel cross among eleven elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) and twelve pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) genotypes were evaluated in a complete randomized block design, with three replications, from march of 2001 to april of 2002, in Embrapa Gado de Leite, Coronel Pacheco, Minas Gerais State. This work aimed to estimate the general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) in eight bromatologic characteristics using the method 4, Griffing (1956) model. There was not genetic variability among parents, considering crude protein percentage characteristic. F94-28-3 x ICMV 87901, F92-97-3 x ICMV 87901, F93-4-2 x Wrajpop 88, F92-101-2 x ICMV 221, F92-101-2 x Senpop, and F93-4-2 x NPM 1 crosses were better considering forage digestibility characteristics, as reduced percentage of fibers, mainly the insoluble (%ADF).Downloads
