Abstract: The present investigation was carried out in College of Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat to study the genetic variability, heritability, genetic gain, genetic advance and correlation for growth traits among 10 accessions of safed musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum Sant. & Fernand). Among different growth parameters, low to medium values for PCV, GCV, ECV, heritability, genetic advance and genetic gain were recorded. Most of the genetic parameters showed comparatively higher values for number of tubers and this trait may be considered while selection of genotypes. Higher values of GCV (18.643%) and genetic gain (31.396 %) were obtained in number of tubers. Other parameters like leaf area and tuber yield also show higher GCV i.e. 18.197 and 15.756, respectively. Number of tubers showed maximum correlation with leaf area (0.870) followed by tuber yield (0.821). Hence, genotype(s) with maximum number of tubers could be used for genetic improvement programme of safed musli in South Gujarat condition.
