Abstract:
Cassia tora fifty accession were studied for fifteen traits studied at research cum instructional farm at IGKV, Raipur (C.G). The high PCV than GCV value showed that influence of environment in expression of traits. The character number of seed per pod, seed length (cm) and carbohydrate % has 0.461%, 0.4% and 0.35% respectively has very less difference between PCV and GCV. Hence the character is less influence by the environment. High genetic advance along with high heritability was observed for plant height (cm) 49.41% and 97.87%, number of secondary branches per plants 86.402% and 92.05, number of pod per plant 93.3544 and 96.332 and seed yield per plant (g) 105.489% and 96.53% which stipulate that additive gene action preponderant in the expression of these characters; hence these characters may be used for genetic improvement of accession via. Selection procedure. IGH heritability associated with moderate GA as % of mean was reported for the seed width (cm) and seed length (cm). Moderate to low GA % as a mean, implying that non additive genetic variation played a role in their expression.
