Abstract
Thirty newly bred and diverse genotypes were tested to assess the heritable variation and yield factors in chickpea. Highly significant differences among the genotypes were noted for all characters studied. Seed yield/plant, harvest index, and 100 seed weight exhibited high heritability and moderate to high estimates of genetic advance as percentage of mean. Plant height, pods/plant, seeds/pod, 100 seed weight and harvest index showed positive and significant correlation with seed yield/plant. The correlation between days to 50% flowering and seed yield/plant was negative and significant. Path analysis showed that plant height, days to maturity, primary branches/plant pods/plant, seeds/pod, 100 seed weight and harvest index were major yield factors in chickpea. Genotypes BG 3012 {(BGD 72 x BG 362) (SBD 377)} and AKG 04–11 {(ICC 14 x JG 23) (BG 1032) appeared as promising genotypes for use in breeding programme aimed at genetic improvement in seed yield of chickpea.
