Abstract

Days to maturity exhibited highest range of variability followed by number of seeds per plant, number of pods per plant, days to 50 percent flowering, harvest index, seed yield per plant, 100 seed weight, plant height and number of secondary branches per plant. Similar values for GCV and PCV were recorded for 100 seed weight, harvest index, seed yield per plant , number of seeds per plant, number of pods per plant, days to maturity, days to 50 percent flowering indicating that these characters are least affected by environment. High heritability with high genetic advance was observed for seed yield per plant, secondary branches per plant, 100 seed weight and number of seeds per plant due to additive gene effect.
