An investigation was carried out at cashew research station under AICRP on cashew Ranasinghapur, Bhubaneswar, Khurda, during the year 2015-2017, to study the variability in thirty land races of cashew. It was found that, the heritability was highest in canopy area per m2 () and minimum was recorded in canopy spread north-south (). The genetic variability with heritability gives a reliable picture of the genetic advance to be expected for the selection. More than 90% heritability was recorded in characters like, canopy area, total no of laterals, flowering laterals, duration of flowering, panicle length and panicle breadth, sex ratio, cashew apple weight and TSS. | Studies on variability of different cashew landraces in Bhubaneswar
