The present study was carried out at N E Borlaug Crop Research Center, G B Pant University of Agriculture and Technology Pantnagar, Uttarakhand to estimate the genetic parameters such as genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV), phenotypic coefficient of variance (PCV), heritability (h2 ) and genetic advance as percent of mean (GAM) for 12 quantitative traits of soybean (Glycine max L). Experimental material of the investigation comprised of 120 genotypes along with 5 checks. During analysis of variance, days to 50% flowering, number of nodes per plant, number of pod clusters per plant, and 100 seed weight showed highly significant difference among check varieties. The PCV and GCV values ranged between and for number of branches per plant and and for days to maturity respectively. | Study of genetic parameters in soybean germplasm based on yield and yield contributing traits
