Abstract:
The present research work was conducted at Crop Research Farm, Nawabganj, C. S. A. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur (U.P.) India. The experimental material for present investigation comprised of 45 F₁s developed by using 10 parent viz., KRL 210, KRL 19, KRL 370, KRL 386, KRL 350, K 1006, K 8434, K 0307, and HD 2967 and K 1313 following half diallel mating design. A total of 100 treatments with 10 parents (45 F₁s and 45 F₂s) were evaluated in respect of mean and coefficient of variation in Randomized Block Design. The highest values of phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation (PCV and GCV) were observed for harvest index, grain yield per plant, number of productive tiller per plant, 1000 grain weight, biological yield per plant and seed hardness. Moderate phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation was recorded for lysine, number of spikelets per spike, and days to flower (75%)whereas low phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation was observed for days to maturity and plant height in both the F₁ and F₂ generations.
