ABSTRACT
Twenty elite genotypes of clusterbean (guar) were evaluated in the present study for nine traits in RBD during summer 2016 at CCSHAU Hisar. High PCV and GCV estimates were found for the characters; seed yield per plant, number of branches per plant and plant height. High heritability coupled with genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for traits like number of branches per plant and seed yield per plant, indicating additive effect in these traits. High positive and significant correlation of seed yield per plant observed with number of pods per plant followed by seed weight, number of branches per plant, number of seeds per pod and pod length. Path coefficient study revealed that very high direct positive effect on seed yield per plant was observed by 100 seed weight, number of pods per plant and pod length. Moderate direct positive effect on seed yield per plant was observed by number of seeds per pod. The number of branches per plant showed positive indirect effect on seed yield per plant via 100 seed weight and number of pods per plant.
Key words: Summer Guar, Variability, Heritability, Character Association.
