Genetic variability, genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation, Heritability, genetic advance and Correlation analysis were undertaken for thirteen characters of bottle gourd obtained from the cross Pusa Samridhi x DBG-5 in F4 generation. High genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation and high heritability estimates associated with high values of genetic advance as a percent mean were observed for number of primary branches per vine, number of fruits per vine, yield per vine, average weight of fruit which indicated additive gene action for these characters, which could be improved by simple selection method. |
