GENETIC DIVERGENCE IN CHICKPEA

Abstract

Fifty genotypes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) were grouped into 11 clusters using Mahalanobis's D statistic. Maximum distance was observed between the cluster VIII and XI. Plant height, number of secondary branches/plant, seeds/plant, 100 seed weight and seed yield/plant had shown more divergence among the clusters.

Keywords: Chickpea, genetic divergence
