Assessment of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance of Chrysanthemum

An experiment was conducted to study genetic variability, heritability and advance among twenty varieties of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) at the College Farm, Horticulture, Department Floriculture Landscape Architecture, SDAU, Jagudan during 2020-21. A wide variation in performance were recorded for various growth, flowering, yield quality parameters results shows that magnitude phenotypic coefficient (PCV) higher than variance (GCV). High GCV PCV fresh weight flower followed by number leaves per plant, flowers primary branches, shelf life, plant plot. along with high as cent mean observed days full bloom, ha. Further, these characters could be exploited improvement through breeding programme.
