Traits, DFF = days to 50% flowering, DM = days to 90% maturity, NP = number of pods per plant, NS = number of seeds per pod, NSPP = number of seeds per plant, PH = plant height in cm, SW = 100-seed weight in gram, BI = above ground biomass, SY = seed yield.
GV = genotypic variance, PV = phenotypic variance, GCV = genetic coefficient of variation, PCV = phenotypic coefficient of variation, ℎ² = broad sense of heritability, GA = genetic advance, GAM = genetic advance as the percentage of the mean.
