Abstract
Sunflower oil with high oleic acid content has nutritional benefit similar to olive oil. Forty five sunflowergenotypes with varying oleic acid content were evaluated for the estimation of proportion of heritability, geneticadvance, PCV and GCV for ten quantitative traits during kharif 2018. PCV was higher compared to GCV for all thetraits. High PCV and High GCV were observed for seed yield per plant, hundred seed weight, oil yield and linoleicacid content. Seven characters viz., plant height, head diameter, hundred seed weight, seed yield/plant, oil yield, oleic acid content and linoleic acid content recorded high heritability followed by high genetic advance indicating the presence of additive gene action and are efficient for selection.
