“…High heritability coupled with high genetic advance expressed by spikelet density followed by fertile spikelets panicle -1 , number of spikelets panicle -1 , number of productive tillers plant -1 , panicle weight per plant, amylose content, number of tillers plant -1 , grain yield plant -1 , biological yield plant -1 , 1000-grain weight, flag leaf width, harvest index, flag leaf length, panicle index, stem length, grain length, plant height, grain breadth, decorticated grain l/b ratio, panicle length and decorticated grain length (Table 1). This was in consonance with the findings of Bekele et al (2013), Rajput et al (2014); Shrivastava et al (2014) and Dongre et al (2014).…”
