Studies on genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance were carried out with 24 genotypes of Bathua (Chenopodium album L.) in Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture, Arabhavi. Considerable amount of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed for all characters studied. Phenotypic variation was greater than that of the genotypic variations for all the characters. The greater portion of total phenotypic variation was due to the genotypic variation. Highest genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed for foliage yield per plant (40.58 and 42.73, respectively). Heritability values were higher for Foliage yield per plant (90.16), Calcium (89.10%), Protein (85.82%), Inflorescence length (85.50), Leaf area (84.83%), Vitamin- A (85.48%), Fresh weight of plant (70.10), indicating the better potentials of improving these characters for improvement of yield. Maximum genetic advance expressed as percentage of mean was recorded for foliage yield per plant.
