The broad-sense heritability (H2) for each trait was estimated according to Singh et al. (1993) [35] using the following formula.
where Vg is the genetic variance and Vp is phenotypic variance.
The phenotypic variance (Vp) and the genotypic variance (Vg) were found by the following formulas:
Here, Ve is the environmental variance. The environmental variance (Ve) was estimated using formula
where VP1 and VP2 were the variances of the respective parental genotypes.
