Abstract

A total of 33 varieties were studied for five characters. There was wide phenotypic variation, and genotypic variation was highest for number of tillers, ear weight and grain yield per plant. The highest heritability estimates were obtained for height and number of fingers. Height had the highest expected genetic advance. Grain yield was positively correlated with height, number of fingers and weight of main ear. Height had high coheritability estimates with number of fingers and grain yield, and number of fingers had high coheritability estimates with ear weight and grain yield
