Abstract

An investigation was carried out to compare the amount of genetic improvement of yield and its three major attributes viz, pods and seeds plant and 100-sead weight three in F and F crosses in gram. The analysis made environment wise in both the generations revealed that intercropping is a better environment for the genetic improvement of pod and seed number per plant and 100-soed weight characters. The estimates of parameters of genetic variability expected, genetic advance and genetic advance as percentage of mean were higher in F3 than in F, and under intercrop than in sole crop. Heritability estimates were higher in sole crop than in intercrop and in F, than in F for pod number and 100-seed weight characters.
