Genetic diversity analysis in genotypes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) suitable for mechanical harvesting
Author(s): Jyoti Sahu, Pallavi K and PL Johnson
Abstract: This experiment was conducted during rabi 2017-18 using randomized complete block design with three replications. Forty one chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes including three check was used in the experiment for genetic diversity analysis and data were recorded on eleven quantitative traits and one morphological trait. Inter and intra cluster distances, cluster mean and contribution of each characters towards divergence was analysed. This analysis indicated presence of adequate genetic diversity among investigated genotypes and found H 14-01, NBeG 865 and RVSSG 66 as highly diverse genotypes. Hence, these genotypes can be utilized as parents in future hybridization programmes in chickpea genotypes.
