A. R. Baria, V. R. Akabari, V. N. Gohil Soybean, genetic advance, heritability, variability, seed yield 54-59 6 (2) 2022 April 2022 Fifty genotypes of soybean were evaluated to determine variability, heritability and genetic advance for 14 seed yield and its component traits. The analysis of variance revealed significant variations for all characters. The estimates of phenotypic (PCV) and genotypic (GCV) coefficients of variation indicated that the values of PCV were higher than that of GCV, but the differences were closer between these two estimates for all the traits. This indicated that expression of characters under study was less influenced due to environmental factors. The high values of GCV and PCV were observed for plant height, biological yield per plant, harvest index, seed yield per plant and fodder yield per plant indicating presence of sufficient variability for selection in these traits. High heritability accompanied by high genetic advance as percent of mean were observedfor days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, 100-seed weight, biological yield per plant, harvest index, seed yield per plant and fodder yield per plant indicating better scope for their improvement through selection, as these characters were predominantly governed by additive genetic variance.
