In the recent past, the grain yield of finger millet has reached a plateau, to break this barrier, multidisciplinary approach more precisely the physiological traits associated with biomass and grain yield would be highly relevant and hence, the present field experiment was conducted. Amongst the two relevant physiological traits (LAI and Net assimilation rate), the relationship of LAI with biomass and grain yield was positive and significant, while DM/LAD (Net assimilation rate) was not significant. The contribution of LAI and DM/LAD towards biomass at flowering was and percent while at harvest it was and percent respectively. Accessions possessing high LAI with moderate to high DM/LAD resulted in higher grain yield and such accessions are GE-1034, GE-4222, GE1013, GE-619 and GE-4248. These accessions may be utilized in crop improvement programmes to break the yield plateau. | Higher leaf area improves the productivity of finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.)
