Genetic variability analysis of yield and its components in Brassica compestris var. toria
Abstract
The present study was carried out at the Research Farm of S.G. College of Agriculture and Research Station, Kumhrawand, Jagdalpur (C.G.), Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (Chhattisgarh) during Rabi 2013-14. Experimental materials comprised 30 F1 from a 6 x 6 diallel crosses was grown in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications with the objectives to estimate the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance. Analysis of variance revealed presence of sufficient variability present as per different biometrical analysis except for days to maturity and oil content (%). Relative magnitude of phenotypic co-efficient of variation was higher than the genotypic co-efficient of variation. The high GCV and PCV were observed for only two traits viz. number of branches per plant and harvest index (%). The traits plant height (cm), siliqua length (cm), number of siliquae per plant and seed yield per plant had moderate GCV and PCV. The highest heritability estimates were observed for the traits erucic acid content followed by plant height, branches per plant, seed yield per plant, siliqua length, days to 50% flowering and harvest index (%). Genetic advance as percentage of mean was observed high for the character number of siliquae per plant, followed by seed yield per plant, days to maturity and plant height.
