Abstract

In 10 varieties of bengalgram, out of 5 component characters studies; pods per plant, height and seed weight had high estimates of heritability and genetic advance. The seed yield was positively and significantly correlated with pods per plant and seed weight, while it was negatively associated with flowering and maturity. Path analysis revealed simultaneous selection for more pods per plant, early maturity coupled with short stature would bring overall improvement in chickpea.
