Abstract: The present research work was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, (Narendra Nagar) Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.) India, during 2011 in rabi season and evaluated seventy strains. The main focus of this field trail was to estimate the component of variance, phenotypic and genotypic coefficient, heritability and genetic advance over mean for different growth and yield parameters. Knowledge of selection effects on positive or negative changes of a character under improvement is of paramount importance for the success of any plant breeding program and it’s generally helps the selection of a desirable improvement breeding method. Heritability and genetic advance are important selection parameter to improvement of crops. The characters Germination (%), Plant height (cm), Days to 50% flowering, Number of branches plant, Number of umbels plant, Number of umbellets umbel, Weight of grains umbel, Test weight (g), Days to maturity, Seed yield/ plant (g) and Seed yield q ha difference between GCV and PCV were recorded for all the characters.
