PERFORMANCE, VARIABILITY, CORRELATION AND COHERITABILITY ESTIMATES IN RAJMASH

Published on Oct 12, 2019 10:28 AM

Thirteen genotypes of rajmash <Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were assessed for variability,
correlation and coheritability for yield and its attributes. The investigation revealed that
among the genotypes PDR 90-18 was the highest yielder. The variability in days to
flowering and pod length appeared mainly due to genotypic differences. High heritability
estimates were recorded for days to flowering, pod length and seeds/pod. Additive gene
effects were important in inheritance of days to flowering and seeds/pod, while
nonadditive gene effects were important for remaining traits. Yield/plant showed high
positive correlations with seeds/pod. Pod length and seeds/pod had higher coheritability
with yield.
