Opis

The field experiment was conducted at Genetics and Plant Breeding Research Farm, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Faizabad, in Augmented Block Design having 10 blocks and each block was divided into 14 plots. Out of these 14 plots in a block, 10 plots were used for accommodating the test genotypes while remaining 4 plots were used for check varieties, during Rabi 2010-11 to assess 100 chickpea germplasm showed wide range of variation for various characters. Data were recorded on different 11 quantitative traits on subjected for estimation of mean, range and least significant differences, correlation, path-coefficient and genetic divergence. The genotypes NDG 93-1, NDG 31, JG 9-3, ICC 4934, BG 3014, ICC 3137, ICCV 05314, RG 2003-28, L 550, IPCK 2004-16, NDG 3-32-2, BDG 1059 and H 02-14 produced higher seed yield per plant, may be used in breeding programme for development of high yielding chickpea varieties.
