Genotype x Environment interaction1) G x E interaction was detected for the thirteen characters except days to heading.2) Linear component of G x E interaction was significant for all characters except days to heading, days to maturity, No. of tiller/ plant and yield per plant.3) Estimates of environmental indices (Ij) indicated that E2 was most favorable for yield and its components, followed by E1, and E3 environments.The studies on estimate of stability parameters revealed that none of the hybrid stable for all the character. The genotypes PBN-3958,GW-480 and MACS-6222 for grain yield per...

The present investigation entitled was undertaken during rabi 2013, at Experimental Farm of Oilseeds Research Station, Latur with 40 genotypes of safflower including two checks viz., Sharda and PBNS-12 with objectives to study the genetic variability parameters, correlation and path analysis for yield and yield contributing characters. The observations were recorded on selected five plants for eleven yield contributing characters. The promising genotypes were viz., PBNS-132 for days to maturity, plant stand and number of effective capitulum per plant, PBNS-130 for plant stand, number of...

The highest value of mid parent, better parent and standard heterosis over two checks AKT-101 and JLT-408 were 64.99, 46.94, 41.93 and 39.55%, respectively for cross TBS-09 x V-21 followed by TBS-12 x V-34 (58.89, 42.64, 41.02 and 38.65%), TBS-05 x V-34 (53.87, 41.08, 33.06 and 30.83%), TBS-12 x V-21 (51.27, 32.85, 26.02 and 24.09%) and TBS-05 x V-21 (46.45, 31.80, 24.32 and 23.23%) expressed significant positive heterosis over mid parent, better parent and standard checks AKT-101 and JLT-408, respectively for seed yield per plant. These highly heterotic crosses also occupied top ranks in per...

Der höchste Wert der Heterosis des mittleren Elternteils, des besseren Elternteils und der Standardheterosis gegenüber den beiden Kontrollen AKT-101 und JLT-408 lag bei 64,99, 46,94, 41,93 bzw. 39,55% für die Kreuzung TBS-09 x V-21, gefolgt von TBS-12 x V-34 (58,89, 42,64, 41,02 und 38,65%), TBS-05 x V-34 (53.87, 41,08, 33,06 und 30,83%), TBS-12 x V-21 (51,27, 32,85, 26,02 und 24,09%) und TBS-05 x V-21 (46,45, 31,80, 24,32 und 23,23%) zeigten eine signifikante positive Heterosis gegenüber dem mittleren Elternteil, dem besseren Elternteil und den Standardprüfungen AKT-101 und JLT-408 für...

La valeur la plus élevée de l'hétérosis du parent moyen, du meilleur parent et de l'hétérosis standard par rapport à deux contrôles AKT-101 et JLT-408 était de 64,99, 46,94, 41,93 et 39,55%, respectivement pour le croisement TBS-09 x V-21, suivi par TBS-12 x V-34 (58,89, 42,64, 41,02 et 38,65%), TBS-05 x V-34 (53.87, 41.08, 33.06 et 30.83%), TBS-12 x V-21 (51.27, 32.85, 26.02 et 24.09%) et TBS-05 x V-21 (46.45, 31.80, 24.32 et 23.23%) ont exprimé une hétérosis positive significative par rapport au parent moyen, au meilleur parent et aux contrôles standards AKT-101 et JLT-408,...

In conclusion, wide genetic variability was evident and considering performance relative to checks and CD values, OL-2022-23-1, RL 18133, DLV-8, Kota Barni Alsi-4 (ZC) and RLC-148 (ZC) emerged as promising genotypes for high seed yield, superior oil content, desirable harvest index and other quantitative traits, suitable for further testing and utilization in linseed improvement programmes.Among the traits studied, seed yield per plant exhibited the highest genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation (16.04% and 17.20%, respectively), followed by number of capsules per plant (15.31%...

The present investigation, entitled "Assessment of genetic variability for yield and yield components in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)", was conducted at the Oilseeds Research Station, College of Agriculture, Latur, during the Rabi season of 2024-2025. The experimental material comprised thirty genotypes, including two standard checks, procured from the Oilseeds Research Station, Latur. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two replications to ensure precision and reliability of results. Observations were meticulously recorded on ten quantitative traits, viz., days...
