Variability and Performance Evaluation of Released Linseed Varieties for Yield and Related Traits in South Gondar Zone, Ethiopia

Table 5

Estimates of variance, coefficient of variation, broad sense heritability (h²), genetic advance (GA), and genetic advance as percent of the mean (GA%) of yield and related traits of linseed varieties grown over the two seasons (2019 and 2020).
