Genetic Variability and Heritability for Growth and Yield in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Quantification of variability is the most essential pre-breeding tool in any crop improvement programme. The present investigation was carried out to assess variability existing in twenty four diverse cucumber genotypes. Results revealed high phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation for yie...
