Heritability and genetic advance in cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) under Lucknow condition

The present study aimed at evaluation of heritability and genetic advance in six teen genotypes of cabbage under Lucknow condition. Findings revealed that high heritability in broad sense were observed for vitamin C (99.50%), days to maturity (98.90%), core length (88.20%), head weight (87.30%), yield (87.20%), leaf width (83.40%) and leaf length (83.20%) whereas, moderate for plant height (78.20%), equatorial length (72.70%), head polar diameter (71.60%), stalk length (71.20%), plant spread (69.80%) and number of non-wrapper leaves (66.00%). Genetic advance as per cent age of mean varied from 6.04 %-50.09% for plant spread and vitamin C content, respectively.
