Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted during Rabi season 2019-20 at Main Experimental Station of Vegetable Science, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (UP). The field experiment was layout in Augmented Block Design with 70 genotypes with 3 check in 5 blocks. The character studied were days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height (cm), branches per plant, fruiting nodes per plant, inter-nodal length (cm), umbel diameter (cm), number of umbels per plant, number of fruits per umbel, number of umbellates per umbel, number of fruit per umbellate, 1000 seed weight (g), seed yield per plant (g). Analysis of variance due to the block were highly significant for all character except day to 50 per cent flowering, fruiting nodes per plant and test weight. Highest genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was recorded for branches per plant. High estimate of heritability was expressed for plant height and fruit per umbel, while high genetic advance in per cent of mean observed for branches per plant (23.60).
