Abstract:
Genetic variability was worked out for 12 characters in brinjal germplasm of
27 varieties. Days to flower recorded ths lowest PCV and GCV indicating little
scope for improvement for those characters. Percentage of fruit set showed the
lowest heritability indicating a high degree of nonheritability variability. An association
of high heritability and genetic advance was shown by single fruit weight,
total fruit yield and equatorial diameter of fruit indicating additive gene effects.
