Genetic Divergence on Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Genotypes Grown under Late Sown Conditions

In the current experiment, 102 chickpea.germplasm showed wide range of variation for various characters were evaluated during Rabi 2017-18 along with BG 372, Udai and Pant G 186 as checks varieties in Augmented Block Design at Agronomy Research Farm Acharya Narendra Deva University Agriculture Technology, Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya (U.P.). The observations recorded on 11 quantitative viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, maturity, primary branches plant, secondary plant height (cm), pods seeds pod, biological yield (g), seed harvest index (%) 100-seed weight (g). A statistical investigation each character's genetics yielded a number results. Higher was generated by genotypes GJG 1416, followed 256, PhuleG0819. Seed had positive extremely significant associations index, weight. Primary shown have output where determined be non-significant. It poor, non-significant correlation until 50% blooming till maturity. Biological (g) Harvest found direct components path analysis. traits mentioned above that indirect ought taken into account when creating chickpea selection strategy would produce high yielding varieties. clusters formed divergence analysis contained heterogeneous origin there indicating no parallelism between genetic geographic diversity. this context, maximum inter-cluster distance cluster X XI (12.201) III (11.254), VI (11.125) VII (10.875). Therefore, crosses members separated distances are likely throw desirable segregants.
