Assessment of Genetic Variability and Different Character Association in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under Late Sown Condition

In the present study, 102 chickpea germplasm showed wide range of variation for various characters evaluated during Rabi 2017-18 along with BG 372, Udai and Pant G 186 as checks varieties. The experiment was conducted in Augmented Block Design at Agronomy Research Farm Narendra Deva University Agriculture Technology, Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya (U.P.). observations were recorded on 11 quantitative viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, maturity, primary branches plant, secondary plant height (cm), pods seeds pod, biological yield (g), seed harvest index (%) 100-seed weight (g). After analyzing data statistical study each genotypes revealed a results Genotypes GJG 1416 followed by 256, 1416, PhuleG0819, IPC 2011-141 1014 produced higher these constituted top significant group traits..On other hand PDG 84-16, 1014, H06-6, 1401, 1403 JG2016-44 early maturity;; 1209, JG identified high number plant; 1001, RS 2011-06 3027 bold size; PhuleG0805 2010-134 found promising which may be used potential donors traits improvement programme. Seed exhibited positive highly correlations weight. non-significant height. It negative association flowering maturity.
