A study was undertaken to estimate the heritability, genetic advance and coefficient of variation of yield and yield contributing traits in thirteen genotypes of wheat. The study was conducted in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications at Mountain Agriculture Research and Extension Station, Kargil (SKUAST-Kashmir) during kharif season of 2018. Significant genetic differences were observed for all the quantitative characters except flag leaf width, indicating considerable amount of variation among genotypes. The higher magnitude of phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was recorded for harvest index. | Genetic variability heritability and genetic advances in wheat Triticum aestivum L. under cold arid conditions of Kargil
