Aim: An experiment to “Study on Genetic Variability and correlation coefficient of Gladiolus Cultivars Under Agro-Climatic Conditions of Prayagraj”. Place and Study of Duration: It was carried out at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agriculture Institute during the Winter season of 2023-24. Study Design: Randomized complete block design. Methodology: The analysis of variance for different quantitative characters are with significant differences among the genotypes for parameters like growth, flowering and corm yield per plant of gladiolus. The highest corms yield/plant (g/plant) of genotype was observed in White prosperity (111.37). While lowest corms yield/plant (g/plant) was observed for Tambri (55.47). High magnitude of GCV and PCV were recorded for weight of daughter corm (20.396 and 21.71. In the present investigation, the genetic advance estimates were found to be high for no. of days taken for first floret open (24.58), corm weight / plot (g) (126.02), weight of mother corm / plot (g) (166.38), weight of daughter corm (70.43), no. of corm per hectare (42515.19) and no. of cormels per hectare (1349073.89). In the present investigation, the genetic advance as mean percentage estimates were found to be high for number of leaves per plant at 30 das (20.27), days taken for corm sprouting (31.48), no. of days taken for first floret open (31.38), weight of mother corm / plot (g) (27.03), weight of daughter corm (39.46) and no. of cormels per hectare (21.70). Genotypic and phenotypic correlation coefficient analysis revealed that Corms weight/plant (g) showed positive significant association with plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant , number of shoot per plant, rachis length (cm), no. of floret per spike, no. of spike per plant, floret diameter (cm), spike length (cm), vase life (days), corm weight / plot (g), weight of mother corm / plot (g), weight of daughter corm, corm diameter (cm), no. of corm per hectare and no. of cormels per hectare at both levels genotypic and phenotypic.

... Balaram and Janakiram (2009) [1] studied genetic variability among different genotypes of gladiolus and recorded high degree of variability for most of the characters. Similar results were reported by Kumar et al., (2011) [9] . Raj and Mishra (1996) [16] reported highest PCV and GCV for weight of cormels. ...

The high value of genetic advance indicates additive gene action for the characters like plant height, days to flowering, spike initiation and rachis length whereas for remaining characters whose genetic advance ranges from 0.79% to 26.87% show that they possess non-additive gene action. The same result was reported by Kumar et al. (2010), Maurya et al. (2011), Singh et al.(2022. ...

In this study, 31 genotypes of gladiolus were examined to provide estimates of genetic variability, analysis of variance, genetic parameters (GCV, PCV, heritability and genetic progress) for thirteen different characters. The research trial was conducted at the crop research Center, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, School of Agriculture, ITM University, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh using RBD design. According to the analysis of variance, 31 genotypes had notable variations for each character. Heritability estimates ranged from 22% to 99%. While the highest heritability 99% was predicted for the spike initiation, the character number of shoots per corm was expected to have the lowest heritability 22.76%. The percentage of genetic advances ranges from 24.25% to 69.41% of the mean. The highest and lowest percentages of the mean genetic advance were found for plant height 51.77% and the number of shoots per corm 0.79% .

The present study was carried out for two years (2016-18) to estimate the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, genetic gain and correlation among 18 Lilium genotypes. Findings revealed characters such as number of bulblet/plant, number of leaves/plant and number of flowers/plant recorded high genotypic coefficient of variability (GCV). High heritability coupled with moderate genetic advance recorded for number of leaves/plant, plant height and stem length. Moderate heritability with highest genetic gain recorded for number of bulblets/plant followed by traits such as number of leaves per plant, leaf width, number of flowers/plant and weight of bulblet etc. Significant positive correlation of yield parameter (number of flowers per plant) recorded with plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, stem length, stem diameter, duration of flowering, bulb diameter and weight of bulb etc. Maximum positive direct effect of days to flower bud formation, number of leaves per plant, bulb diameter, weight of bulb, leaf length, stem length etc. on number of flowers per plant revealed the true relationship between them and selection on the basis of these characters would be more effective for the improvement among Lilium genotypes.

Genetic variability and correlation studies in twenty gladiolus genotypes for vegetative, floral, corm and cormel characters was conducted. The estimated phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than the genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for twenty four characters studied. The traits like rachis length, number of spikes per plant, weight of spike, number of florets per spike, number of corms per plant, number of cormels per plant, weight of corm, yield of corms kg per hectare and yield of corms tons per hectare exhibited high heritability (>75%) coupled with high genetic advance as per cent mean (>30%) which indicated the prevalence of additive gene action in expression of these traits and there by further improvement of these traits could be made by selection. A study on the association of various morphological traits through correlation analysis in gladiolus showed that number of spike per plant had significant and positive correlation with plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, spike length, rachis length, number of florets per spike, vase life, number of corms, weight of corms and diameter of corm. Spike length exhibited significant and positive correlation with plant height, number of leaves, leaf width, leaf area, rachis length, number of florets per spike, diameter of the floret, weight of the spike, length of the floret, vase life, number of corms, number of cormels, weight of corm, diameter of corm. The results of investigation revealed that number of spike per plant spike length and number of florets per spike are important yield and quality characters. Hence, these characters may be considered as selection indices in breeding programme.

The viz. White prosperity, Mohini, Hunting song, Creamy green, Suchitra, Samara, Nova, Peterpears. Evaluated were out of twenty-five cultivars means estimated Genetic variability, heritability, phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than the genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and genotypic correlation. The characters, Plant height at (30, 60, 90 DAS), Number of leaves per plant at (30,60,90 DAS), No. of shoot per plant, Days taken for corm sprouting, Rachis length, Days taken to spike emergence, days taken colour break stage, No. of floret per spike, No. of spike per plant, No. of days taken for first floret open, No. of days taken for last floret open, spike length, floret diameter, vase life, Weight of daughter corm, Weight of mother corm, corm diameter, corm weight, No. of corm per hectare, No. of cormels per hectare and Corm yield/plant observed for all characters. Highest GCV and PCV were recorded for Weight of daughter corm (g) (33.6786 and 47.569), No. of cormels per hectare (37.743 and 37.97), No. of corm per hectare (27.961 and 32.13), No. of days taken for first floret open (30.0614 and 30.0889), Corm yield/plant (23.667 and 29.334), Weight of mother corm (25.6022 and 28.1499),Corm weight (21.75 and 25.49), Days taken for corm sprouting (23.7566 and 23.7566) and lowest GCV and PCV were recorded for No. of floret per spike (2.7578 and 3.3549). The genotypes Creamy green and White prosperity were found to produce the highest spike yields per plot and the highest numbers of corm per hectare, respectively. These genotypes may be sown for higher yields and showed a good response to selection due to their high heritability, variability, and genetic advance, which showed additive gene effect. These genotypes can be utilised to selectively increase yield and component attributes.
