Abstract: Small cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton), belongs to the family Zinziberaceae is one of the important spice crops of India. Cardamom is cross pollinated crop and it is propagated through both vegetative and sexual means hence, lot of variability is noticed. The experiment on study of variability in cardamom was conducted in 2016 at Zonal Agriculture and Horticulture Research Station (ZAHRS), Mudigere. Significant differences were observed amongst different working collections of cardamom for all the morphological traits. The pooled analysis revealed that, SKP-170 produced highest number of tillers per clump (41.1) and was on par with the genotype APG-293 (40.8), M-2 recorded highest tiller height of 333.2 cm, while the lowest was recorded in APG-284 (149.9 cm) in pooled analysis, Pooled analysis over two experimental years revealed that SKP-170 recorded maximum (27.6) number of leaves and while, PV-4 and CL-622 (9.9) genotypes registered lowest number of leaves per tiller. Maximum leaf length of 71.7 cm and leaf breadth of 14.2 cm was recorded in Green Gold under pooled mean analysis, highest number of vegetative buds per clump was noticed in RR-1 (9.1) which was on par with the genotypes PDP-12 (8.8), D-168 (8.7) in the pooled mean analysis for two years data.
