Heritability was estimated by the formulae of Wricke and Weber ( 1986 ): H = σ 2 g / σ 2 p. Results Variation of the parental banana germplasm for Fusarium wilt Genotype mean squares determined by ANOVA were highly significant ( P < 0.001) for RDI and LSI as the measure of Fusarium wilt resistance and non-significant for PSS ( P > 0.05) (Table 4 ).
