GENETIC DIVERGENCE IN CHICKPEA {CICER ARIETINUM (L.)}
1Regional Agricultural Research Station,
Lam, Guntur . 522 034, India
ABSTRACT
Genetic diversity in chickpea with 132 genotypes revealed significant differences among the genotypes for yield and its component characters. The genotypes were grouped into nine clusters. Cluster I was the largest, comprising of 20 genotypes, followed by clusters V and VII with 16 and 15 genotypes, respectively. Maximum intra - cluster distance (1.806) was observed in cluster VI followed by cluster IV (1.799), cluster I (1.705) and cluster IX (1.642). Maximum inter cluster distance was noticed between clusters I and VIII (5.114). Crossing the genotypes between the clusters I and VIII may lead to maximum diversity in the segregating populatlons and development of high yielding varieties
