Twelve cultivars are studied in the AICRP on oilseeds experiment field in the college of agriculture Tikamgarh in purpose to get scientific data for the nature and scale of genetic variability and correlation with identified promising donor for crossing programme. three replications of the experiment were done using an RBD design and the data were collected up to the beginning of flowering for days., days to 50 % flowering, plant stand per hectare, plant height, primary branches per plant, capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, biological yield per plant, days to maturity,1000 seed weight, yield per plant, yield per ha., protein content (%),oil content (%).The mean per se performance for yield attributing and quality traits of twelve linseed genotypes including state check has been studied with Genotype JLS-67 was found earliest and highest seed yield per hectare also with highest seed yield per plant was recorded among all the genotypes and genotype JLS-9 exhibited the maximum primary branches and maximum seed per capsule per plant which was found at par with state check and the maximum number of capsules per plant was observed in genotype JLS-79. Highest biological yield per plant was observed in genotype JLS-27. Same as the maximum test weight was recorded in genotype JLS-93 and in genotype Kartika analyzed highest for protein and oil content. In correlation studies Seed yield per plant showed highest positive correlation with 1000 seed weight. Identification of Promising donors for various agro-morphological traits in above twelve genotypes found that the genotypes JLS-67 and JLS-93 are the best for the earliness, the genotypes JLS-79 and JLS-66 for capsules per plant and the genotypes JLS-93, JLS-9, Kiran, JLS -67 for seeds per capsule, genotype JLS-93 for 1000 seed weight (g) and the genotypes for seed yield per hectare (kg) JLS-67, JLS 66. The genotype JLS recorded highest yield per plant (g) and genotypes Kartika, Kiran, JLS-93, JLS-79, Sharda and JLS-27 for Protein content in percent. Kartika, JLS-121, JLS-9, Sharda, JLS -67 identified as promising donors for future hybridization program towards development of nutri-rich high yielding varieties.
