Heritability estimates in narrow sense, varied from 32.80 per cent for TSS : acid ratio to 91.74 per cent for seed mellowness. Genetic advance as percentage of means was very high (124.08 %) for seed mellowness. The PCV was greater than GCV for all the characters under study. It is concluded that selection for characters having heritability with high genetic advance will be helpful. The characters exhibiting low to moderate heritability accompanies by low genetic gain indicate the non-additive gene action and such characters need higher selection pressure.
