CLASSIFICATION OF URIDBEAN GERMPLASM FROM DIVERSITY ZONES OF UTTAR PRADESH

Abstract

The landraces in Urid bean (Vigna mungo L.) were collected from diversity rich zones in Uttar
Pradesh, India. The collections were characterized for visual traits and quantitative characters. The
ordination of genotypes were done by principal component analysis. The classification gave 13
clusters. Many resistant genotypes for viral diseases were identified. The genetic donors for yield,
pod and flowering traits were isolated along with green seeded erect types which are not found
frequendy.
