Variability studies in Crossandra (Crossandra infundibuliformis)

Abstract

The present investigation was under taken to study the genetic parameters such as, heritability, genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation (GCV, PCV) for ten characters of different crossandra genotypes. The highest phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation, heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean was noticed for number of spikes per plant, yield per plant, rachis length, number of leaves, number of flowers per spike, plant height, primary branches and 100 flower weight.
