Abstract

The knowledge of genetic variability in a given crop species for character under improvement is essential for any plant breeding programme. Heritability with genetic advance are more helpful in predicting the gain under effective selection. With four CMS lines, eight testers and thirty two hybrids evaluated for thirteen characters related to yield. Low, moderate and high genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations observed. Heritability was high for all the characters with high and moderate genetic advance observed for different characters related to yield.
