Abstract

The present investigation on Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. was carried out to estimate the genetic variability for some phenotypic characters and seed traits of trees selected from fifteen different provenances. Analysis of variance showed significant differences for all the characters viz;  tree height, diameter, crown spread, seed length, seed width and 100 seed weight. Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV), genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and  estimates of genetic parameters viz; heritability, genetic advance and genetic gain have also been discussed.

Keywords

Investigation, Genetic variability, Seed traits, Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV), Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV)
