Assessment of Genetic Variability and Yield Stability in Chickpea Genotypes under Diverse Environments

Analysis of genetic parameters of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes under Vindhya plateau of Madhya Pradesh

“…The least estimates of GCV were for days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, days to first pod initiation, and number of primary branches per plant. Similar findings were reported by Babbar and Tiwari (2018) [1] and Manikanteswara et al (2019) [3] ." The highest heritability was recorded for biological yield per plant, number of effective pods per plant, days to maturity, height at first fruiting nod, plant height, days to first pod initiation, stem thickness,100 seed weight, grain yield per plant, days to 50% flowering, number of secondary branches per plant, number of primary branches per plant harvest index.…”

Genetic studies on yield traits of late sown elite kabuli chickpea lines

“…Variation was also observed for hundred seed weight from 25.33 to 58.16 g with mean value of 36.18 g. Therefore, seven kabuli chickpea lines (JGK-2018-1, 2, 3, 4, RVSVT-K-105, 110 and ICCV 181307) recorded as extra large seeded on the basis of mean value greater than 45 g. Biological yield per plant varied from 19.9 to 62.3 g and had an average value of 35.5 g. Elite and indigenous lines under study showed harvest index with range from 29 to 67.5% with an average value of 48.5 %. Whereas seed yield per plant recorded an average yield value of 17.2 g with ranged from 10.4 to 32.3 g.These findings are in accordance with earlier results observed by Arora et al (2018), Babbar and Tiwari (2018) and Solanki et al (2019).…”

Study on Variability and Character Association Analysis in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

“…Moderate estimates of heritability in broad sense were recorded for days to maturity and low heritability were recorded for days to 50 % pod setting, days to 50% flowering and plant height. These results were in close conformity with the findings of Malik et al [18] for 100 seed weight, harvest index, secondary branches yield per plant, Babbar and Tiwari [19] for days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, 100 seed weight and yield per plant, Pandey et al [20] for days to 50% flowering, number of seeds per pod, plant height and number of pods per plant, Monpara and Gaikwad [21] for seed yield per plant, 100 seed weight, plant height and primary branches per plant, Sowjanya et al [22] for all traits and for number of seeds per pod, biological yield per plant, 100 seed weight and yield per plant.…”
