Abstract:
The present study was conducted to know about the morphological descriptors in dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus L.) on 45 genotypes. It was carried out during Rabi season in the year 2021- 2022. Qualitative traits revealed that there is a considerable variability in dolichos bean germplasm for most of the traits like plant growth habit (pole and bush), stem colour (green, dark green and purple), flower colour (purple, white and dark purple), leaf vein colour (light green, green and purple), leaf density (sparse, intermediate and dense), pod colour (green, light green, white, purple, dark purple), pod curvature (straight, curved and highly curved) and pod shape (straight, intermediate and curved).
