Genetic Analysis of Kharif Onion Genotypes and their Performance Study in Plains of West Bengal

Genetic diversity of morphological, biochemical and mineral traits in Indian onion (Allium cepa) genotypes

“…Low GCV and PCV were recorded in ED and K, while in the case of PD and BSI, both were recorded with low GCV, but PCV values of both traits were classified as moderate. Consistent with our findings, previous studies have also reported moderate GCV and PCV values for traits such as marketable yield (MY) and dry matter (DM) (Santra et al 2017, Bhoi et al 2020, plant height (PH) (Bal et al 2022) and total soluble solids (TSS) (Khosa and Dhatt 2013). However, a low GCV and PCV for equatorial diameter (ED) were reported by Dangi et al (2018).…”

“…Characteristics including BPC, BPA, neck thickness (NT), average bulb weight (ABW), iron, zinc, and sulphur exhibited high GCV and PCV values, while plant weight (PH), marketable yield (MY), total soluble solids (TSS), dry matter (DM), and calcium traits displayed moderate GCV and PCV values. The findings were consistent with those of Bhoi et al (2020) and Bal (2022), who similarly reported high GCV and PCV in ABW, NT, BPA, and BPC. Low GCV and PCV were recorded in ED and K, while in the case of PD and BSI, both were recorded with low GCV, but PCV values of both traits were classified as moderate.…”
