Analysis of genetic parameters on dry matter yield and its components in fodder oats (Avena sativa L.)

Abstract

The analys; of fifteen characters of thirty two varieties of oats for its heritability, expected genetic advance, genetic gain and genetic coefficient of variation revealed that the number of leaves, leaf area, number of tillers and plant height had high values in heritability, expected genetic advance and genetic coefficient of variation. Selection based on those characters would lead to an increasing drymatter accumulation in fodder oats.
