Genetic Variability and Diversity Analysis for Yield and its Associated Traits in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a leguminous self-pollinating crop belongs to family- Leguminosae (Fabaceae). The aim of plant breeder identify or develop high yielding cultivars. In the present investigation, 83 genotypes grown during Rabi 2021-22 investigate genetic variability, heritability and advance, correlation, direct indirect effects divergence (D2 analysis) among yield its attributing traits. High GCV PCV recorded for numbers pods per biological indicating presence substantial amount variability in experimenting material. coupled with advance was shown seed plant, hundred weight. Selection based on these traits may be proved worthwhile. Significant positive correlation documented path analysis signified that had highest effect plant. data obtained from investigation helpful selection superior genotype (s) chickpea.
