Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the variability of characters under different parametersin fifty diverse genotypes of kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Analysis of variance revealed significant genotypic differences for all the ten characters with wide range of variations. Estimates of genotypic and phenotypic co-efficients of variation were high for seed yield per plant and number of pods per plant. Broad sense heritability was higher for all the traits except plant height. High genetic advance expressed as a percentage of mean was exhibited by seed yield per plant and number of pods per plant.
