Abstract:
Thirty winged bean genotypes were evaluated for genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in 18 quantitative characters at the Instructional-Cum-Research Farm of Horticulture Section, Rajarshee Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj College of Agriculture, Kolhapur during the Kharif season 2021-22. The GCV and PCV were high in seven characters viz., seed yield per vine, tuber yield per vine, pod yield per vine, pod weight, 10 pod weight, pod width and number of primary branches per vine. Traits like seed yield per vine followed by tuber yield per vine showed high heritability coupled with high genetic advance indicating their importance in selection programme for further improvement.
