Studies on Genetic Variability, Heritability and Genetic Advance for Yield and Yield Attributing Characters in Cluster Bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.]

Extent of Genetic Variability for Quantitative Traits in Indian Clusterbean Germplasm [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub]

“…These characters also showed lesser difference between PCV and GCV and thus selection based on the phenotype of these traits would be rewarding. The present findings are in accordance with results of Patel et al (2018), Rishitha et al (2019) and Meghana et al (2019) for days to flowering, while Meghana et al (2019) for days to maturity and number of branches per plant, Santhosha et al (2017) for seed yield per plant, pod length and protein content, Shobiya et al (2019) for plant height, Rishitha et al (2019) for the number of pods per plant and test weight, Moderate heritability was found for the characters number of seeds per pod and number of clusters per plant. Similar type of results were reported by Kumar and Ram (2015) and Revathi et al (2017).…”

“…Simple selection based on the phenotypes of these traits would be effective for bringing further improvement. These results are in accordance with the findings of Rishitha et al (2019), Choyal et al (2018) and Meghana et al (2019) for the number of branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, seed yield per plant and Meghana et al (2019) for days to flowering.…”

“…While the lowest estimates of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient variation were observed for gum content, protein content, pod length and number of seeds per pod, thus indicating lesser variability in the population and lesser scope of selection. These results is in conformity with the findings of Santhosha et al (2017) for test weight, Patel et al (2018) for the number of pods per plant, Rishitha et al (2019) for the number of seeds per pod and Panchta and Khatri (2017) for pod length.…”

Genetic variability studies in cluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] for growth, yield and quality parameters

“…Moderate PCV and GCV were noticed for plant height (90 DAS), pubescence and weight of hundred seeds, which indicates there are no much significant differences for these traits henceforth moderate amount of variation is present in these characters. The similar results are in line with Singh et al (2010b) [24] , Malaghan (2012) [13] , Girish et al (2013) [7] , Manivannan and Anandakumar (2013) [14] , Singh et al (2016) [22] , Goudar et al (2017) [8] , Kumar et al (2017) [12] , Santhosha et al (2017) [21] , Choyal et al (2018) [4] and Rishitha et al (2019) [19] for plant height and Singh et al (2010b) [24] and Gowd et al (2019) [9] for 100 seed weight. Low PCV and GCV were recorded for germination per cent, pod breadth, days to first commencement of flowering, days to 50 per cent flowering and days taken for first vegetable pod harvest.…”

“…(2012) [17] , Santhosha et al (2017) [21] and Reddy et al (2018) [18] for number of branches (90 DAS), number of clusters in a plant, fresh pod yield per plant; Prakash et al (2008) [16] and Santhosha et al (2017) [21] for number of pod in an cluster and seed yield per plant; Anandhi and Oommen (2007) [1] , Manivannan and Anandakumar (2013) [14] , Choyal et al (2018) [4] and Reddy et al (2018) [18] for pod length; Reddy et al (2018) [18] for pod weight; Santhosha et al (2017) [21] and Rishitha et al (2019) [19] for pod yield per plot and pod yield per hectare; Choyal et al (2018) [4] for weight of ten dry pods and Hanchinamani (2004) [10] , Santhosha et al (2017) [21] and Girish et al (2013) [7] for gum content of seeds. This indicates the existence of wide genetic variability for these characters.…”
