Narrow sense heritability and genetic advance were studied for yield and its components of
20 parents partial diallel for F1 and F2 generations in yellow sarson. High heritability
estimates were observed for days to flower, days to maturity, siliqua length and
siliquae/plant in both the generations. High genetic advance was recorded for days to
flower, siliquae/plant and seed yield/plant in both the generations. The days to flower and
siliquae/piant had high heritability coupled with high genetic advance (% mean) indicated …

Narrow sense heritability and genetic advance were studied in yellow sarson (B. campestris
var. sarson) for yield and its components, involving 20 parents partial diallel for F1 and F2
generations grown during 1995-96 in Uttar Pradesh, India. Observations were recorded for
days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, primary branches per plant, secondary
branches per plant, siliqua length, seeds per siliqua, siliquae per plant, 1000-seed weight,
oil content and seed yield per plant. High heritability estimates were observed for days to …
