Abstract
The present investigation “Assessment of genetic divergence in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)” was undertaken to study the extent of genetic variability, heritability (broad sense), genetic advance, correlation and genetic divergence in 36 genotypes of wheat. The material was evaluated in randomized block design with two replications during Rabi-2014 at Post Graduate Research Farm, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri.
Observations were recorded on ten characters viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, spiklets per spike (no.),tillers per running meter(no.),plant height (cm),ear head length (cm), grains per ear head (no), grain yield per plant (g)1000 grain weight (g),and protein content (%).
