In general, the studies revealed low genetic coefficient of variation for all the traits under study. The traits viz., plant height, number of sympodia per plant, number of bolls per plant and lint index showed comparatively high estimates of genetic advance accompanied with high estimates of heritability. The highest expected genetic advance of 55.99 percent accompanied by 72.50 percent of heritability estimate in respect of number of bolls per plant was encoura-qing as it indicated possibilities of improvamant through judicinus salaction for this most important yield datarminer.
