Genetic variability studies of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) genotypes

Abstract

The present experiment was conducted to find out the genetic variability in 12 genotypes of coriander. It was undertaken at HRS, Mandouri, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal. The experimental design was RBD and evaluation studies were carried out on the basis of several genetic variability parameters. Among the characters studied, seed yield/plant, number of seeds/umbel, number of basal leaves, primary branch, secondary branch and plant height were characterised by high PCV, GCV, heritability and genetic advance indicating prevalence of additive gene action which offer good scope for further improvement.
