Genetic Relationship and Selection Indices of Nine Irradiated Quantitative Traits of F1 Materials in lentils (Lens Culinaris Medic.)

F1 materials of half-diallel crosses for nine characters in lentils were studied correlation, path-coefficient, and selection index. The phenotypic component variation (σ2p) was higher than the genotypic (σ2g). highest σ2g σ2pwere obtained CAMF. Investigation showed that correlations (rg) respective (rp) most characters. SWPP a highly significant positive correlation coefficient with other except NPBFF at level DF level. recorded NSBFF PdWPP had direct effect on both levels. maximum expected genetic gain 4603.196% found when RW included These two high as well may be considered primary yield components.
