VARIATION AND CHARACTER ASSOCIATION STUDIES IN CLUSTERBEAN (CYAMOPSIS TETRAGONOLOBA (L.) TAUB.)

Abstract

Analysis of variance for ten quantitative characters in 81 genotypes of c1usterbean
showed significant variability for all the traits. Branches planC', pods planC1,
pods c1uster-1 and seed yield planC1 had high genotypic coefficient of variability,
high heritability and high genetic advance (% of mean). Seed yield per plant
showed significant and positive correlation with pods per plant, clusters per plant
and pods per cluster at genotypic and phenotypic levels, while it had significant
and positive phenotypic association with plant height and branches per plant.
80th genotypic and phenotypic correlations of pods p1ant-1 with clusters p1anC1
and pods c1uster-1 were significant and positive
