Abstract


One hundred genotypes of pigeonpen (Cajanus Lajan (L) Millsp) were evaluated for 8 characters under five environments in two years, the magnitude of range for phe- notypic variability was high for all the characters except seeds/pod. High estimates of gunotypic coefficient of variation and heritability were observed to be accompanied by moderate to high genetic advance for pods/plant, days to maturity, plant height and days to flower across the varying environments. Therefore, it is suggested that there is ample scope for selection with respect to these charactere in pigeonpes and mass selection could be quite effective.
