generations
was estimated as heritability value using
multiplicative factor of 2/3 or 0.67. Heritability
estimates were computed for entire population of
selected progenies for all the characters. Based on
breeding, coefficients of the generations were
involved in regression analysis.
The heritability estimates were categorized according
to Robinson
et al.
(1949) and given below: 0%~30% -
Low; 30%~60% - Moderate; 60% and above – High.
