Abstract
Sixty cultivars of large flower chrysanthemum were evaluated for variability, heritability and genetic advance. A wide range of variability were observed in NRFFH−1 (56.00–381.33) followed by LN (40.33–12.67), PH (31.52–90.95), FH (7.77–20.83) and WRFFH−1 (6.37–66.77). The highest CV value was noticed by WRFFH−1 (24.64%). The σ2g and σ2p was varied from 0.01 (SD) to 5836.92 (WRFFH−1) while σ2e ranged from 0.00 (SD) to 5834.22 (NRFFH−1). The maximum PCV and GCV was recorded for RFW (PCV=60.50, GCV=55.26) and CARITO (PCV=87.21, GCV=85.13) respectively. The high h2 was recorded for NRFFH−1 and WRFFH−1 (100%) followed by DFB and PH (99.00%) while 100.00 percent h2 was exhibited for ANTHO. High h2 coupled with high GA % was recorded for CARITO (171.18), ANTHO (161.89) and WRFFH−1 (110.23). It was concluded that the traits like CARITO, ANTHO and WRFFH−1, RFW and NRFFH−1 could be exploited for the improvement of large flower chrysanthemum through breeding programme.
