The present investigation was carried out at Student’s Instructional Farm of N.D.U.A. and T, Kumarganj Faizabad in the Kharif season 2014. Eleven germplasm of kodo millet namely, K-1, K-2, K-3, K-4, K-5, K-6, K-7, K-8, K-9, K-10 and KK1 were collected and used as experimental material in the field trail. The seeds of kodo millet germplasm were sown in Randomized Block with three replications on 4th August 2014. During experimentation recommended agronomical practices were adopted to achieve good crop. After harvesting the seeds of each germplasm were collected separately and used for the analysis of various biochemical and antinutritional parameters. The seeds of each germplasm were ground into fine powder stage and stored in desiccator for further analysis. Highest protein content was reported in the germplasm K-6 (9.53%). The tryptophan content in germplasm was recorded higher in K-6 (0.87g/16gN) while methionine content was reported in K-6 (0.73g/16gN).Lysine content was found highest in K-6(3.28g/16gN). Total mineral content and crude fibre were noticed maximum in K-4(4.54%) and K-2(6.93%).The antnutritional factors such as phytic acid, total phenol and tannin content were reported less in the germplasm K-6(114.61mg/100g),K-6(63.74 mg/100g) and K-6(102.22 mg/100g).On the basis of overall observations the germplasm K-6, K-10, K-3 and K-9 were found superior and utilized in further research work.

The present investigation was carried out in the laboratory Department of Biochemistry, N.D. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad during the year 2011-12 The various biochemical parameters such as protein content NDK-8 (11.12 %), crude fibre content NDK-3 (3.90 %), Total mineral content NDK-3 (4.35 %), tryptophan content NDK-3 (23mg/g), lysine content NDK-5 (134mg/g), methionine content NDK-5 (57mg/g), were also noticed in present investigation. Antinutritional factors such as Phytic acid content NDK-2 (147.05mg/100g) and Tannin content NDK-4 (119.28mg/100g).
