Abstract

A field experiment was conducted with twenty cultivars at College of Horticulture, Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh) in Randomized Block Design with three replications during the year 2018-19. This investigation revealed that phenotypic coefficient of variation was higher than the genotypic due to influence of environment on the expression of the characters. The highest GCV was observed for number of pods plant-1 (27.13). The highest PCV % observed for number of pods plant-1 (27.62) followed by seed yield (21.09).The highest heritability was recorded in number of pods plant-1 (96.55) followed by days to 50% flowering (96.00) and number of secondary branches plant-1 (90.60). The highest genetic advance was recorded in number of pods plant-1 (33.69) followed by plant height (15.42) and fresh weight g plant-1 (14.72). The highest genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in number of pods plant-1 (54.93) afterward seed yield g plant-1 (34.84) and seed yield q ha-1 (34.84). Correlation studi
