Creator Preeti Verma* and Mashiat Ali
 
Subject Fenugreek, Genetic variability, Heritability, Genetic advance
 
Description The present investigation was carried out using twenty fenugreek genotypes (Trigonella foenumgraecum L.) to evaluate genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in the population. Significantgenetic variations were observed in the genotypes for all the characters except days to maturity. High phenotypicand genotypic coefficients of variation were observed for number of pods per plant, harvest index,number of seeds per pod while low estimates were seen for plant height, days to 50% flowering and podlength. High heritability estimates were recorded for number of seeds per pod, number of pods per plant,harvest index and test weight. Estimates of heritability were moderate for the traits seed yield and pod lengthwhereas it was low for days to 50% flowering and plant height. High genetic advance as percent of meantogether with high heritability and high GCV was observed for number of pods per plant, harvest index,number of seeds per pod, test weight and seed yield indicating additive gene action in the inheritance ofthese characters. On the basis of the present study, it can be concluded that simple direct selection can beexercised for improvement in these major yield contributing characters viz., number of pods per plant, harvestindex, number of seeds per pod and test weight for enhancing fenugreek seed yield ultimately.Key words: Fenugreek, Genetic variability, Heritability, Genetic advance.
