Abstract:
The present experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Research Centre, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut during summer season 2020 with taken Twenty cucumber genotypes under Randomized Block Design with three replications to assess the PCV, GCV, heritability and genetic advance for various horticultural traits. In this study phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were higher than the corresponding values of genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) while the difference between PCV and GCV was very less for No of primary branches, Days to open first female flower, Days to open first Male flower, Days to open first fruit set, Days to open last fruit, fruit weight, Fruit length, Fruit diameter, Vine length, Number of fruits per plant, Number of seed per fruits, Total soluble solids, and Yield per plant and these traits are less influenced by environment. moderate PCV and GCV were observed in Days to open first female flower, Days to open first Male flower, fruit weight, Fruit length, Fruit diameter, Vine length, Total soluble solids, high PCV and GCV were Observed in No of primary branches, Number of fruits per plant, Yield per plant and low PCV and GCV were found in Days to open first fruit set, Days to open last fruit, Number of seed per fruits. In this experiment all the studied traits had high heritability coupled with low to moderate genetic advance except Fruit weight (g)-and Number of seeds per fruit appearance.
