A field experiment was conducted during 2017-18 at College of Horticulture, Bengaluru. The experiment was laid out in augmented block design with 72 genotypes and 3 checks. The results revealed that there were significant differences between the genotypes for different morpho-physiological and biochemical traits studied. Among the genotypes the genotype COHBCBC 2 (100%), COHBCBC 16 (56.67cm), COHBCBC M5 (6.20), COHBCBC 6S1 (338.64 cm2 plant-1), COHBCBC 15S1(280.96 cm2 g-1), COHBCBC 28 (12.32g) performed better for the traits such as germination percent, plant height, number of branches per plant, leaf area, specific leaf area, total dry matter respectively. Genotypes COHBCBC 10 (82.67), COHBCBC M3 (88.20), COHBCBC25 (1.45), COHBCBC 27 (64.43) found superior for biochemical traits such as stomatal frequency, Relative water content, epicuticular wax content, SPAD values respectively. High PCV and GCV were observed for the traits number of branches per plant, leaf area, epicuticular wax content.
