Abstract

The experiment entitled “Genetic variability, correlation and path coefficient studies in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Genotypes” was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Ummedganj, Kota, Agriculture University, Kota, (Rajasthan). The experiment was carried out in randomized block design involving forty chickpea genotypes with three replications during rabi 2019-20. Good amount of variation was recorded for number of pods per plant, biological yield per plant, plant height, days to 50 per cent flowering, harvest index, seed yield per plant and days to maturity. The maximum genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were found for protein content followed by seed yield per plant, number of pods per plant and number of branches per plant. High heritability associated with high genetic advance as per cent of mean for protein content, seed yield per plant, number of pods per plant, plant height and 100 -seed weight were denotative t
