Abstract:
Genetic variability analysis for seed yield and its component along with protein content, were estimated in 42 genotypes. Analysis of variance on fourteen characters showed significant value in mean sum of square (MSS) for all traits. Occurrence of significant level of variation in the observed traits implies the presence of variability. GP 10, GP 94, GP 2 and GP 15 were the four genotypes which reported high values for protein content ranging from 25.33 to 26.85%. Number of secondary branches, pods per plant, hundred seed weight, biological yield, harvest index, plot yield, and seed yield per plant showed high PCV coupled with high GCV. Plant height, height of first pod, number of seeds per pod and protein % showed moderate values of PCV along with moderate values of GCV. Traits exhibiting high values of PCV, GCV, heritability and GAM were number of secondary branches, pods per plant, hundred seed weight, biological yield, harvest index, plot yield, seed yield per plant and protein %.
