Twenty-nine sunflower genotypes were evaluated for genetic variability and association of various morphological traits with seed yield. The in Randomized Complete Block Design three replications. Eight biometrical viz., days to 50% flowering, maturity, plant height (cm), head diameter volume weight (g/100 mL), 100-seed (g), oil content (%) yield per (g) recorded. phenotypic genotypic variation ...

Aims: To identify the potential genotypes and important traits for drought tolerance based on root system architectural morphometric that can be used as a selection criteria in future crop improvement programs.
 Study Design: Completely randomized design Randomized block with two replications traits.
 Place Duration of Study: Department Millets, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coi...

the present experiment was carried out to assess the general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) of six important commercial cultivars of gossypium hirsutum l. of venezuela, viz., ‘deltapine 16’, ‘tamcot-sp-21’, ‘cabuyare’, ‘stoneville’, ‘ospino’ and ‘acala 90-1’ and their 15 f1 hybrids, respectively. the data were analyzed using griffing’s model i method ii. significan...

In order to choose an efficient breeding procedure, it is necessary to have knowledge of the genetic system controlling agronomically important traits. Common bean is one of the major legumes containing large amount of proteins and other valuable nutrients. The aim of this study was to determine genetic parameters for yield and yield components, using six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1, and B...

Sixteen Jatropha curcas genotypes collected from four states were grown in randomized block design and evaluated for 12 characters. The genotypes showed significant differences in most component traits and seed yield, excepting primary branches/plant, fruits/bunch and seeds/fruit. The genotypes Utkal nursery, Phule1, IST 1, Jodhpur1 and Chhatrapati had above average (>84.7 g) seed yield/plant. ...
