 ABSTRACT

The experiment was conducted on 15 genetically different genotypes under Allahabad agro-climatic condition. It was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. It was observed that 9904 genotype was found superior in term of seed yield per plant. The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all the traits. Heritability in broad sense was noticed high for all the traits except test weight (1000-seeds) higher genetic advance was observed for plant height. High genetic advance as percent of mean was found in number of seeds per umbel. The traits like plant height, primary branches per plant, number of umbels per plant, number of umbellates per umbel, umbel diameter, number of seeds per umbel and test weight (1000-seeds) showed positive significant correlation with seed yield per plant at phenotypic and genotypic level. Number of seeds per umbel exhibited the highest positive direct effect at genotypic level.

Key words:  Coriander, Heritability, Genetic Advance, Correlation, Path Analysis
