Genetic variability revealed that the characters like yield per plant, pod length, pod weight, pulp weight, seed weight, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, shell weight, rag weight, beak length, rag per cent, real pulp value, pulp: seed, pulp: shell, number of pods kg^-1, seed number, edible: non-edible, TSS and non- reducing sugar showing high GCV, heritability and are least affected by environment and governed by additive gene action. Hence, selection will be effective for improvement of these traits. The high value of genetic advance recorded for the numbers of pods per Kg.
