Statistical analysis to estimate various genetic parameters like phenotypic and genotypic variance, phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation (PCV and GCV), broad sense heritability and genetic gain and principal component analysis (PCA) of genotypes was done in order to assess the magnitude of variability for various agro-metrical characters. In Indian soil zone, highest yield was observed in GYNE-5, while, in Qatar soil zone, highest yield was observed in PUSA SANYOG. The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was Original Research Article

Qatar has been categorized as BWh (B=Arid or Dry; W=Waste or Desert; h=hot) based on the Köppen's classification. In addition to having high summer temperatures, high humidity, intense sun radiation, poor soil, and strong winds, Qatar also has limited precipitation. As a result, the climate is no longer favorable for agricultural production. Furthermore, the conditions are made worse by the scarcity of cultivable agricultural land. Due to these unfavorable circumstances and the growing emphasis on self-sufficiency, Qatar has adopted protected farming methods including greenhouse farming. The current state of Qatar's agriculture production has been examined in this review by taking into account the amount of crop output, the amount of cultivated land, the reliance on imports, and the value of crop production with reference to two major vegetable crops identified as critical commodity by Qatar Natio...

In Indian soil zone, highest yield was observed in GYNE-5, while, in Qatar soil zone, highest yield was observed in PUSA SANYOG. The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than its corresponding genotypic counterpart (GCV) for all characters studied. High broad-sense heritability was associated with all the traits in both zones except fruit length. Days to edible maturity, fruit length and fruit width showed lo...
