RESPONSE TO SELECTION FOR YIELD AND QUALITY TRAITSUNDER SALT AFFECTED SOIL IN BRINJAL (SOLANUMMELONGENA L.)Vipin Kumar Maurya and G.C.YadavAbstract A field experiment was conducted to assess the genetic components such as heritability in narrow sense(h2ns) and genetic advance for nineteen yield,its attributes and biochemical traits of forty five crosses andtheir ten parents by using the diallel cross analysis (excluding reciprocal) at the Main Experiment Station(MES), Department of Vegetable Science, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology,Narendra Nagar, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) India during 2020-2021 (Y1) and 2021-2022 (Y2). Highheritabilityin narrow sense (h2ns) coupled with high genetic advance in percent of mean were observed forfruit length, fruit equatorial circumference, number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, reducing sugars,non-reducing sugar, total sugar,chlorophyll content, total phenol content and total fruit yield per plant inthe pooled indicating thereby these traits were less influenced by environment and were mainly undercontrol of additive genes. |
