Abstract: The experiment was conducted at Research cum Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, Chhattisgarh during kharif 2017-18 under the AICRP on Pigeonpea, Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding. Low estimates of PCV and GCV were identified for days to flower initiation days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, pod length, seeds/pod, 100 seed weigh, harvest index, protein%, and Dal recovery% that culminated into low genetic advance. The PCV and GCV were moderate for plant height, primary branches, Pod/plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was more for plant height and no. of pod cluster/plant biological yield/plant, seed yield/plant. High heritability in these indicated the presence of additive gene effects. The secondary branches, pod cluster per plant and grain yield/plant were exhibited high genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation, heritability and genetic advance.
