Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted to examine the 20 bread wheat genotypes along with 2 checks to study the genetic parameters, correlation and genetic diversity. The experiment was carried out in main experimental station of Agricultural Research Farm, Rama University (U.P), Mandhana, Kanpur during Rabi Season, 2020-21 in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Analysis of variance showed highly significant differences among 20 bread wheat for 11 characters studied. On the basis of mean performance, genotype CSW 18 exhibited high grain yield per plant over the check. Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV), Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation (PCV) and Environmental coefficient of variation (ECV) was recorded highest for grain yield per plant (17.40%, 20.07% and 17.32%). High heritability was observed for most of the traits and it was noted highest for days to maturity (81.6%). Genetic advancement was recorded highest for grain per spike (9.68%). The high Genetic advance as per cent of mean was recorded for grain yield per plant (31.09%). Grain yield per plant shows significant positive correlation with biological yield per plant (0.91**) at genotypic level. Grain yield per plant shows significant positive correlation with biological yield per plant (0.88**) at phenotypic level.
