Abstract: The present investigation was carried out with 15 cluster bean genotypes during Kharif- 2017 following RCBD with three replications. Significant variations were recorded among genotypes for growth and yield parameters. Among the fifteen genotypes, the genotype RGC-197, RGC-1033 and RGC-1002 have shown significantly higher plant height at 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing and least of it was recorded in the genotype RGC-1038 at 30 and 90 DAS and in Gourishankar-9 at 60 DAS. Off the branching habit genotypes, HG-870, HG-870 and RGC-986 recorded significantly higher plant height. The genotypes RGC-986 and HG-100 have shown least number of days for all the earliness parameters like days to first flowering, days to 50 per cent and days to first vegetable pod picking. The number of cluster per plant was higher in the genotype RGC-197 but the number of pods per cluster was significantly higher in the genotype RGC-471, thus this genotype has recorded the significantly higher number of pods per plant. Similarly pod length was higher in the genotype RGC-197 but the pod width was recorded significantly higher in the genotype RGC-471 and also this genotype RGC-471 had higher ten pod weight significantly thus this genotype has maintained higher green pod yield per plant, per plot and per hectare.
