The analysis of variance revealed signfficant genotypic difference for all the nine characters studied. Seed yield/plant had highest co-efficlent of genotypic and phenotypic variability. The characters studied showed high heritability with highest value estimated for seed yield/plant. Estimate of genetic advance in per cent of mean was also observed highest for seed yield/plant. The estimates of genetic advance in per cent of mean were comparatively low for oil content and days to flower. The low values of GCV, h 2 also observed for the characters such as oil content and days to flower suggest that these characters cannot be improved effectively merely by selection.
