Genetic variability studies in amaranthus (Amaranthus spp.)

An investigation was carried out to estimate the nature and extent of genetic variability​ ​among twenty Amaranthus genotypes (Amaranthus spp.) under a randomized block design during the year 2019-20. The phenotypic coefficient of variation was higher than the genotypic​ ​coefficient of variation fo...
