Study of Variability and Comparative Performance of Triticale with Wheat

Abstract

                                A wide range of variability was observed for many characters in the 14 Triticale types studied for various statistical parameters. The genotypic coefficient of variability ranged from 4.36 for days to flower to 17.58 for yield per plant. A high genotypic coeffi cient of variability and heritability combined with a greater genetic advance as percentage of moan for 1000 grain weight, number of grains per main ear, number of ears per plant and yield per plant, indicates that solention for these characters would be effective in the Improvement of yield of Triticales. From the comparative study of Tricsle with wheat, the superiority of Triticale over wheat with respect to most of the yield contributing character has been established.
