A field experiment was carried out at farmer field in Pudukurapettai village, Virudhachalam, Tamilnadu during 2019 to study genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance expressed as per cent of mean for yield and yield attributing characters in thirty three genotypes of yardlong bean. The mean performance recorded on days to first flowering was in the range of (46.78 to 57.33 days), vine length (196.76 to 386.32 cm), days to first picking (57.33 to 67.53 days), pod length (14.18 to 60.08 cm), pod width (1.76 to 3.43 cm), fresh pod weight (171.43 to 995.45 g), number of pods per plant (26.53 to 56.40), number of picking (10.00 to 14.20) and pod yield per plant (171.43 to 995.45 g). The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation showed higher value for pod yield per plant (46.69 % and 46.70 %), fresh pod weight (42.27 and 42.28 %) and pod length (41.66 and 41.66 %). High heritability was observed for the all nine characters. Genetic advance as per cent of mean was higher for pod yield per plant (96.18 %), fresh pod weight (87.08 %), pod length (85.81 %), vine length (36.93 %), pod width (34.16 %) and number of pods per plant (30.04 %).

The present investigation was undertaken to study the genetic variability, diversity through cluster analysis and correlation among yield attributing traits. The experimental material is comprised of 63 diverse germplasm accessions including three check varieties were evaluated in augmented design during Rabi 2015-16 at IIPR, Kanpur. In this study, totally nine traits, namely, days to fifty per cent flowering (DF), days to maturity (DM), plant height (PH), number of branches per plant (NBP), number of pods per plant (NPP), pod length (PL), seeds per pod (SPP), 100 seeds wt (g) (HSW) and seed yield per plant (g) (SYP) were recorded. The results exhibited that the analysis of variance noticed significant differences among the genotypes for all characters studied. The genetic variability parameter showed that phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were higher than those of genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all the traits studied. Higher GCV coupled with heritability and genetic advance as % mean was recorded for PH, NPP, HSW and SYP. Likewise, high heritability coupled with high genetic advance as % mean was recorded in DF, PH, NPP, PL, HSW and SYP. Trait association study revealed that the seed yield per plant exhibited significant positive correlation with NBP, NPP, NSP and HSW. In the same pattern, Euclidian clustering analysis displays 63 genotypes were grouped to two major clusters. From this investigation, it was observed that all genotypes showed sufficient genetic variability for the traits studied. The genotype such as EC400414, EC400398, ET8415 and EC540173 were superior to check varieties in terms of morphological and other agronomic traits. These genotypes could be utilized in breeding programme for improvement of specific traits.

Sorghum is the second most important cereal crop in Niger. The crop is grown in a wide range of ecological environments in the country. However, sorghum grain yield in Niger is limited by both abiotic and biotic constraints. Recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross of a local variety with a midge resistant variety and two local checks were evaluated during the 2015 rainy season across two planting dates in two environments in Niger. The objective was to investigate genetic variability for yield, yield related traits, and resistance to sorghum midge. High phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) versus genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) was observed in both sites and planting dates. Across planting dates at both Konni and Maradi, grain yield, plant height, panicle weight, and midge damage had high heritability coupled with high estimates of genetic advance. At Konni, high genetic advance coupled with high heritability was detected for grain yield, plant height, panicle weight, and resistance to midge. There were similar results at Maradi for grain yield, plant height, and panicle weight. Therefore, selection might be successful for the above characters in their respective environments.

The present investigation was carried out during Kharif 2016 at ZAHRS, Navile, Shivamogga. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. There were 24 treatment combinations comprised of three different environments (polyhouse, shadenet and open field) and eight spacing treatments (45 cm x 30 cm, 45 cm x 45 cm, 45 cm x 60 cm, 45 cm x 75 cm, 60 cm x 30 cm, 60 cm x 45 cm, 60 cm x 60 cm, 60 cm x 75 cm). The obtained results showed that all the characters were markedly affected by different environments and spacing. Among different environments significantly higher plant height (325.17cm), number of primary branches (12.46), number of pods per plant (21.66), pod length (70.67 cm), pod girth (3.73 cm), pod weight per plant (31.13 g), yield per plant (458.21 g) and higher pod yield per 1000 m2 (1605.99 kg) were recorded in polyhouse. Among spacing treatments significantly higher number of primary branches (12.91), pods per plant (22.30), pod length (71.73 cm), pod girth (3.94 cm), pod weight per plant (33.11g) and pod yield per plant (547.86 g) were recorded with wider spacing of 60 cm x 75 cm. Highest plant height (294.29 cm) and yield per 1000 m2 (1791.68 kg) were recorded with the closer spacing of 45 cm x 30 cm. The interaction of different environments and spacing were found to be statistically non-significant for all the traits. The evaluation of production economics revealed that growing of Yardlong bean in open condition with 45 cm x 30 cm spacing was most remunerative option with a highest benefit: cost of 3.14.

The experiment comprising 30 okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) genotypes were grown and analysed for yield and its attributing traits at the Department of Vegetable science, Kumarganj, Faizabad during Zaid (2011) period. All the characters studied showed a wide range of variation. The variability for yield among the accessionsevaluated was also remarkable. The magnitude phenotypic coefficient of variation was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation for all traits. Both phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) were high for plant height (11.10 and 10.60, respectively). Fruit weight exhibited low value of GCV (2.31) and PCV (4.74) and likely to show less response under selection. High heritability (91.3) with high genetic advance (26.74) was recorded for plant height, whereas, ridges per fruit had high heritability (97.0) with moderate genetic advance (18.45). This study aimed to evaluate okra genotypes for variability with a view to providing information on the development of high yielding genotypes to meet the growing food demand of the populace.

Yard long bean (Vigna unguiculata var. sesquipedalis L.) is one of the important leguminous vegetables in Bangladesh. However, yield of this vegetable is much lower in Bangladesh compared to other yard long beangrowing countries. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the yield of this vegetable. In the present study, genetic variability, heritability, character association and genetic diversity were evaluated on randomized complete block design with three replications among seven-yard-long bean genotypes. The genotypes were significantly variable for the studied characters. High genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed in number of pods per plant and pod yield per plant. Accordingly, high heritability together with high genetic advance in percent of mean was observed in number of pod per plant, pod diameter and hundred seed weight. The correlation studies revealed that pod yield per plant showed significant positive correlation with number of seed per pod, number of pods per plant while significantly negative correlation with days to marketable harvest at both genotypic and phenotypic level. Path analysis revealed days to first flowering, days to maturity, number of pods per plant, pod weight and number of seeds per pod had direct positive effect on pod yield per plant. The studied genotypes were clustered into 3 groups with highest of inter-cluster distance between cluster I and III while lowest between cluster II and III. The genotypes of cluster I exhibited higher mean performance while lower in cluster III for important traits including pod yield per plant.

Genetic variability, heritability in broad sense and expected genetic advance as percent of mean for fruit yield and nine characters were studied in 25 pointed gourd genotypes. Fruits per plant and fruit yield per plant showed maximum variability. Genotypic coefficient of variation was found high for fruit yield and number of fruits per plant. All the characters under study were highly heritable in nature. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for fruit yield and fruits per plant, which indicated that these characters are more reliable for effective selection.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v20i1.17026

Studies on genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance were carried out with 14 genotypes of Lablab bean (Lablab purpureus L.) cultivated at the Agro-ecological zone9 (AEZ-9) comprising the Old Brahmaputra Floodplain Soil. Considerable amount of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed for all characters studied. Phenotypic variation was greater than that of the genotypic variations for all the characters. The greater portion of total phenotypic variation was due to the genotypic variation. Highest genetic and phenotypic variation were observed for green pod yield per plant (1882.68 and 2108.43, respectively) and 100-green seed weight (1380.91 and 1452.07, respectively) Heritability values were higher for days to maturity (81.37) , number of raceme per plant (80.62), pod length (99.43), pod width (99.27), green pod yield per plant (89.29), dry shelling percentage (91.58), seed yield per plant (84.93) and protein content (98.11) indicating the better potentials of improving these characters for improvement of yield. Maximum genetic advance expressed as percentage of mean was recorded for green pod yield per plant (95.22).Progressive Agriculture 26:22-25, 2015

An experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design to estimate genetic variability of ten rice genotypes. Analysis of variance for yield and yield contributing traits showed significant (p<0.01) variation among the genotypes. Results of genetic analyses showed a higher phenotypic coefficient of variation compared to their corresponding genotypic coefficient of variation for all the traits measured, which indicates that the traits were influenced by environment. The magnitude of difference between phenotypic coefficient of variance (PCV) and genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) was less for the traits indicating little influence of environment. The higher estimates of PCV and GCV were observed for number of filled grains panicle–1 (27.53; 26.84), number of unfilled grains panicle–1 (26.76;25.28) and plant height (23.14; 23.00) indicates possibility of genetic improvement through direct selection for these traits, while days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, panicle length, number of effective tillers plant–1, fertility (%), 1000 Seed weight and yield panicle–1 showed low PCV and GCV values indicating the need for creation of variability by hybridization or mutation followed by selection. High heritability values (>60%) along with high genetic advance and genetic advance as percentage of mean were found for all the traits indicating prevalence of additive gene action, which provides good scope for further improvement by selection.J.

Present investigation was conducted to study the genetic variability for grain yield, its component traits and slow rusting component in advanced backcross segregating lines of bread wheat at AICRP on wheat, MARS, UAS, Dharwad, Karnataka during Rabi season of 2015-2016. The study revealed highly significant differences for the yield, its component traits and for slow rusting components, indicating the presence of sufficient genetic variability in these lines which is basis for the effective selection in any breeding programme. High genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) values coupled with high heritability and high genetic advance over mean were recorded for some of the studied traits such as grain yield per plant and no. of productive tillers per plant. Also high PCV and GCV along with high heritability and high genetic advance over mean (GAM) was found for the slow rusting components. The presence of sufficient variability along with high heritability for all these traits indicates that simple phenotypic selection for these traits may be effective for genetic improvement of these traits. Hence based on present findings it can be concluded that practicing selection considering the traits like productive tillers per plant, grain yield per plant along with slow rusting components will be more beneficial for achieving durable type of resistance in future breeding programme.

Twenty-five genotypes of yardlong bean were planted in the field to determine genotypic variances and correlations among characters related to yield. Analysis of variance revealed a highly significant difference among the genotypes for all traits, indicating the presence of variability. The phenotypic coefficients of variations were found slightly higher than the genotypic coefficients of variations, which suggests that the apparent variation is not only genetic but also influenced by the growing environment. High heritability and a high genetic advance were observed in pod yield per plant, pod weight and the number of pods per plant. Yield/plant was positively and significantly correlated with the number of pods/plant, pod length and the number of seeds/pod. The combination of the high heritability along with high genetic advance provides a clear image of the traits in the selection process reflecting the presence of additive gene action for the expression of these traits and improvement of these characters could be done through selection.
