    A 23 candidate plus trees of Jatropha curcas were selected from the states of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Haryana in India. A total 14 seed traits and growth parameters were measured and their genetic values and correlation was calculated to serve as base information for further tree improvement and breeding program of J. curcas. Significantly treatment sum of squares were observed for all these traits under the study indicating an existence of a substantial variability revealed high PCV and GCV values for number of branches, number of primary branches, initial collar diameter of plant and seed yield per plant. The PCV values were higher than GCV values for all the traits, while the difference between PCV and GCV magnitude were minimum for number of seeds per fruit. High heritability was observed for number secondary branches and seed yield per plant with high genetic advance. These.. View More»
