Genetic variability for yield and its components in Lathyrus under different environment

Abstract

Diversity among 16 lathyrus genotype was assessed for various agronomic traits under four environments viz., irrigated & timely sown, non-irrigated & timely sown, non-irrigated with late sown and irrigated with late sown environment. The analysis of variance and genotypic correlation coefficient of variation revealed the presence of considerable amount of genetic variability for the characters studied over pooled. The heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was highest for seed yield plot-1 and lowest for plant height.
