 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out with 22 genotypes of Cauliflower planted in Randomized Block Design with three replications to know the nature and magnitude of phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was significantly higher than the corresponding genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all the characters under the study, indicating a considerable influence of environment on their expression. Higher magnitude of PCV and GCV (> 30%), respectively were recorded for stalk weight, leaves weight, curd weight with guard leaves, curd weight per plot, curd weight indicating the existence of wide range of genetic variability in the germplasm for these traits. The variability, heritability and genetic advance as per cent of mean for various horticultural traits. The analysis of variance showed significant variationamong different genotypes for all the traits under study. Genotype Golden Agahani, Pusa Snowball, Pusa Deepali, Poosi, Haridwar Local, KT-9, Faizabad Local, Rajasthan Local, Pant Gobhi-3 recorded highest curd weight and also performed better for other horticultural traits than check cultivar (Pusa Himjyoti).Genetic analysis indicated that phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) in all of the attributes studied. High heritability (broad sense) estimates coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean were observed for yield and other horticultural traits.
