Narrow sense heritability and genetic advance were studied for yield and its components of 20 parents partial diallel for F1 and F2 generations in yellow sarson. High heritability estimates were observed for days to flower, days to maturity, siliqua length and siliquae/plant in both the generations. High genetic advance was recorded for days to flower, siliquae/plant and seed yield/plant in both the generations. The days to flower and siliquae/piant had high heritability coupled with high genetic advance (%mean) indicated that heritability was due to additive gene effects and progress can be achieved by selection in segregating populations.
