Abstract:
The genetic parameters like range, mean, phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV), genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV), heritability and genetic advance as a percentage over mean were studied in 96 brinjal genotypes for eleven traits in four different environments. The study revealed highly significant differences for most of the traits. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for all the characters in all four environments except fruit yield per plant in E1, E2 and E4 (moderate heritability with moderate genetic advance as per cent of mean) and moisture content in all environments (high heritability with low genetic advance as per cent of mean). Genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variations were highest for all the characters except for total soluble solid and moisture content. The high heritability and high genetic advance have been observed for all characters except two viz., fruit yield per plant and moisture content.
