Effect of Heritability, Genetic Advance and Correlation on Yield Contributing Traits in Upland Cotton

This research was planned to study the heritability (broad sense), correlation, genetic advance and behavior of different characters in segregating population upland cotton. The material consists fourteen crosses along with their seven parents. Parental varieties show significant difference for all traits under study. Plant height, ginning out turn (GOT), bolls per plant yield showed ranging from 78.9 27.3. Significant genotypic correlation height 0.698, 0.930, GOT 0.692, fiber strength 0.548 fineness 0.435. Phenotypic 0.520, boll 0.894 0.476. It can be suggested that are important contributing as they positively correlated seed cotton plant. High value plant, recorded BH-167 × V4 CIM-534 V4, which utilized future breeding program.
