Abstract: As we know that genetic components is primarily important for the improvement of any traits in plants before adopting any breeding programmers. In order to assess genetic parameters and variability of horticultural traits in cabbage, an experiment was conducted in the frame of RCBD with three replications under hill condition. The analysis of variance showed highly significant differences among the genotypes for all traits, suggesting the presence of considerable amount of variability among the genotypes of cabbage according to the characters evaluated in the present study. The estimated genetic components indicate the phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV) in all of the attributes, studied were higher PCV and GCV obtained in stalk weight, leaves weight, head size, non-wrap leaves, leaf length, yield per plot, net head weight and ascorbic acid content. High heritability estimates coupled with high to moderate genetic gain were observed for stalk weight, non-wrap leaves, leaf weight, head size, yield per plot and ascorbic acid content which indicated that these characters are under the control of additive genes and are more reliable for effective selection.
