Online published on 8 June, 2022. Abstract A total of 18 genotypes of fennel were evaluated to assess the extent of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among the genotypes and significant variability concerning all the characters. Estimates of genotypic and phenotypic variances indicated that, in general phenotypic variances were higher than genotypic variances for all the characters. In addition, high heritability (broad sense) coupled with high genetic advance as a percent of mean was observed in fennel genotypes for dry matter accumulation at maturity, biological yield, harvest index (%), and oil content.
