Abstract:
The present experimental research was carried out during Rabi season of 2021-2022. The experiment was carried out under Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Agriculture Research Farm, Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar, Punjab.Theexperimentalmaterialconsistsof21 genotypes and observed 14 traits. The estimate of analysis of variance indicated that the mean sum of squares due to genotypes were highly significant for all the characters. The phenotypic coefficient of variation was greater than the genotypic coefficient of variation for all the characters suggesting that there is an influence of environment over the genotypes. Combination of heritability and genetic advance are high heritability and high genetic advance are combined for following characters plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, length of main raceme, number of siliquae on main raceme, number of siliquae per plant, number of seeds per siliquae, biological yield per plant, 1000 seed weight, harvest index and seed yield per plant. 21 genotypes were grouped into six clusters. Maximum inter-cluster D² value was noted among the clusters II and V therefore it could be concluded that the genotypes present in these two clusters show maximum degree of diversification and could be utilized for successful breeding programme.
