Genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, correlation coefficient and path analysis in coriander

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted with 30 diverse genotypes (Local Coriander-LC-4, Surabhi, Kashmiri Dhania-P D-4, Local Lucknow-LL-4, Pusa Sugandha, Local Dhania-L D-5, Local Dhania-L D-4, Kalmi Dhania- KD-6, Kashmiri Dhania –P D-1, Local Dhania-LL-3, Local Coriander-LC-2, Coriander Kalmi-CK-2, Coriander Kalmi-CK-1, Local Katuai, Kashmiri Dhania-PD-2, Local Lucknow-LL-2, Pant Haritama, Coriander Kalmui-CK-4, Local Coriander-LC-1, Local Lucknow-LC-5, Kalmi Dhania-3- KD-3, Kalmi Dhania- 4-KD-4, Kashmiri Dhania-PD-3, Kashmiri Dhania-PD-5, Local Lucknow-LL-1, Local Coriander –LC-3, Coriander Kalmi-CK-3, Kalmi Dhania-2-KD-2 and Kalmi Dhania –5-KD-5 in randomized block design with three replications. Analysed data revealed that among all the genotypes Local Lucknow-LL-4, Coriander Kalmi-CK-2, Kalmi Dhania-KD-6, Local Dhania-LD-5 and Kashmiri Dhania-PD-2 gave promising results.
