Abstract: The experiment was conducted to study on genetic architecture through variability parameters and association analysis for green forage yield and its characters in 46germplasm lines including 2 checks (UPC-5286, UPC-9202); with 2 replication, was carried out during Rabi 2017-18 studied for fifteen characters viz., day to 50% flowering, plant height (cm), leaf length (cm), leaf width (cm), stem girth (cm), number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, number of nodes, inter node length (cm), days to maturity, seed per pod, seed yield per plot (kg), 1000 seed weight (g), crude protein, leaf stem ratio, green forage yield per plant (g), dry matter yield per plant (g). All the characters exhibited existence of variability significantly. This indicated existence of sufficient variability among the genotypes for the mentioned characters and sufficient scope for development of new variety or genotypes.
These results are indicates that seed yield can be improved much better way by selection. Selection for these traits is likely to accumulate more additive genes leading to further improvement of performance of genotypes.
