 ABSTRACT

Thirty one genotypes of cluster bean including check Pusa Navabhar were estimated for variability, heritability and genetic advance over mean for vegetable pod yield and seed yield traits during Kharif- 2015 at the vegetable research farm, Department of Horticulture SHIATS, Allahabad located in South-East part (Zone 4) of Uttar Pradesh. The investigation was laid out in Randomised Block Design with three replication. On the basis of per se performance the genotypes like, HG-3-100, HGS-884, AVT-1 GR-12 and IC 13496 for vegetable pod yield as well as HG-04-875, Pusa Navabhar, HGS-881, RGC-1025 and IC 3773 for seed yield showed promisingperformance.Higher magnitude of GCV and PCV for vegetable yield trait was recorded for pod length (cm), pod breadth (cm), ten fresh pod weight (g), number of vegetable pods per plant and vegetable pod yield per plant (g). While number of clusters per plant and dry pod yield (g) per plant showed high GCV and PCV for seed yield parameter. High heritability along with high genetic advance for vegetable yield parameter was registered for number of vegetable pods per plant (86.06, 76.66) and vegetable pod yield per plant (82.35, 106.02).While number of clusters per plant (93.13, 22.52) and dry pod yield per plant (g) (96.13, 51.37) showed high heritability along with high genetic advance for seed yield traits, it indicates that most likely the heritability is due to additive gene effect and selection may be effective

Key words: GCV, PCV, Heritability, Genetic advance, Cluster bean,
