Abstract:
The present research was carried out to estimate the genetic variability for 11 characters among 30 different genotypes of Taramira (Eruca sativa Mill.) at Research farm of SKN College of Agriculture, Jobner (SKNAU, Jobner) during the rabi 2018-19. The phenotypic coefficient of variation was higher than the corresponding genotypic coefficient of variation for all the characters. Wide range was observed for the number of siliquae per plant, seed yield per plant and secondary branches per plant. The high heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percentage of mean indicated presence of additive gene action in these traits viz., Number of siliquae per plant, oil content and seeds per siliquae, additive gene action is pronounced in the expression of these character early generation selection would be effective in breeding programmed. High heritability is found with low genetic advance as percentage of mean for plant height and secondary branches per plant, which is indicative of aforesaid characters, are governed under non additive gene action.
