Abstract
Harvest index has become a character used in plant breeding programmes and in evaluation of responses to agronomic treatments (Donald & Hamblin, 1976). Donald (1962) defined harvest index as the ratio between weight of grains and the weight of total dry matter, and later described it as a measure of partitioning of photo - synthates (Donald, 1968)Keywords
