Abstract

The analysis of variance disclosed significance differences among 35 genotypes for all the 13 characters proposing the presence of great inherent genetic variations. The highest magnitudes of GCV and PCV were discovered for number of pods per plant and water absorption capacity. High heritability associated with high genetic advance as per cent of mean altogether spotted for the traits like number of pods per plant, water absorption capacity, seed yield per plant and plant height. Seed yield per plant had significant and positive correlation with number of pods per plant, pod length, 100-seed weight, biological yield per plant, harvest index, germination percentage, seed volume and water absorption capacity. In addition to these traits, positive direct effect to seed yield was detected for days to maturity, plant height, number of pods per plant, 100-seed weight, biological yield per plant, harvest index, germination percentage, seed volume and water absorption capacity. The 35 genotyp

Keywords

Genotypes, variability, correlation, path coefficient.

Conclusion

The genotypes which produced substantial seed yield and performed better for desirable traits were Keshwanand mung-1, RMG-492, GM-4, SML-668, RMG-62, IPM-2-3, VIRAT, Ganga-8, MEHA and MH-421. Thus, these varieties could be used for cultivation in arid zone as well as used in breeding programme to develop high yielding varieties.
