Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Genetic Diversity studies in Greengram (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek)” was undertaken to study the extent of genetic diversity, correlation and path analysis in 40 genotypes of greengram. The genotypes were evaluated in Randomize Block Design with three replications during kharif 2020-21, at farm of Agril Botany, College Agriculture Badnapur. Observations were recorded for 10 characters viz, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight, seed yield per plant and harvest index.
The traits number of pods per plant, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, 100 seed weight and harvest index exhibited significantly positive association with seed yield. This indicates the simultaneous improvement of these characters through selection.
Path coefficient analysis indicated that the characters viz., number of pods per plant, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, 100 seed weight, number of seeds per pod, days to maturity and harvest index exhibited highest direct effect on seed yield. The selection of genotypes based on these characters as selection criterion would be useful in improving the seed yield potential in greengram.
