Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance studies in backcross populations of maize (Zea mays L.)

Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance of a character assist in setting up the breeding programmes for the improvement of the particular trait. In the current study high estimates of PCV and GCV were recorded for cob weight and single plant yield among the cross derivatives of UMI 120...
