Abstract: An experiment conducted at Main Experiment Station of Department of Vegetable Science at Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P). The experimental material consisted of 35 Amorphophallus germplasm and two standard checks first was NDA-9 (Local check) and Gajendra (National check) was conducted in a Randomized Block Design with three replication. The character studied were Days to sprouting, Length of leaves (cm), Width of leaves (cm), Girth of pseudo stem (cm), Plant height (cm), Length of pseudo stem (cm), Polar diameter of corm (cm), Equatorial diameter of corm (cm), Weight of corm per plant (kg), Number of cormel per plant, Weight of cormel per plant (kg), Number of corm per plant and yield (t/ha.). High magnitude of phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation was observed for number of cormel per plant followed by weight of cormel per plant, number of corm per plant, yield (t/ha.). High heritability coupled with high genetic advance in percent of mean were recorded for number of cormel per plant, yield tone per hectare, weight of corm per plant and of cormel per plant.
