Genetic divergence, variability and character association analysis in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes under normal and late sown conditions

Abstract

Forty five chickpea genotypes were evaluated under normal and late sown conditions during Rabi,2017-18 in the experimental field of the

Identification of novel donors for yield contributing traits from Chickpea Adaptive Trials (CAT) of ICARDA for base broadening of Indian chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

“…High estimates of heritability of the traits under study could be due to the larger genetic variability of the genotypes. Saleem et al (2008), Durga et al (2007), Thapa et al (2022) and Arshad et al (2004) observed high heritability in chickpea for days to flowering, days to maturity, test weight and plant height. High values obtained for heritability and genotypic variation indicated the presence of additive genetic effects, because of which conventional selection methods can be practiced for developing superior varieties Noor et al (2003).…”
