Selection parameter analysis for selecting the best cross combinations in Indian mustard ( Brassica Juncea (L.) Czern & Coss)

Abstract

The estimates of heritability (narrow sense) coupled with high genetic advance were observed high for all the nine characters. The positive and highly significant correlation was observed for seed yield per plant with days to flowering (0.540), days to maturity (0.550), length of main raceme (0.520), number of siliquae per plant (0.613), oil content (0.440), test weight (0.418), days to flowering significant associate with days to maturity (0.740), plant height (0.640), length of main raceme (0.489), number of siliquae per plant (0.636) and test weight (0.512), days to maturity with plant height (0.757), length of main raceme (0.565), number of siliquae per plant (0.750) and test weight (0.457), plant height associate with number of siliquae per plant (0.592), length of main raceme showed significant positive associate with number of siliquae per plant (0.571), number of siliquae per plant positive and significant showed associate with oil content (0.481) and test weight (0.414), oil content associate with positive and significant associate with test weight (0.544).
