Abstract: The purpose of the study was to investigate genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for yield and flower characters in the M₁populations of chrysanthemum cultivar Poornima Pink in a Completely Randomized Design during 2019. Cuttings were treated with both gamma ray and EMS and analysed for genetic variation. High phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) estimated for number of primary branches, number of flowers per plant and flower yield per plant in both gamma and EMS induced mutated population indicated that the genotype could be considered by the phenotype and the selection of these characters in the early generation based on the phenotypic performance will be effective. Heritability might be due to effects of additive genes and consideration for the characters with combination of high heritability, high genetic advance will be more effective.
