Abstract:
The higher genotypic variance and phenotypic variance was observed in Fruit yield plant -1 (gm) followed by Total soluble solids (Brix0), higher genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) was observed ni Seed Weight/ Plant (g) (44.61) followed by Seed Yield (kg/ha) (35.47), Higher phenotypic coefficient of variance (PCV) was observed for Seed Weight/ Plant (g) (44.71) followed by Seed Yield (kg/ha) (35.63), High heritability coupled with high genetic advance (% of mean) was observed for characters like seed weight per plant (100 & 91.70) followed by seed yield (99 & 72.71), Nodes on main stem (0.5610), days to first pod formation (0.2192), days to first flowering (0.2870), days to 50% flowering (0.3033), days to 50% maturity (0.0849), peduncles per plant (0.2560), pods per peduncle (0.1202), pods per plant (0.6711), dry pod weight (0.6292), seeds per pod (0.4325), seeds per plant (0.7879), seed weight per plant (0.6573), TSS (0.2406), protein content % (0.1948), pod yield (0.8015), showed significant positive correlation with seed yield (kg/ha) at genotypic level., while at phenotypic level Nodes on main stem (0.5309), days to first pod formation (0.2200), days to first flowering (0.2837), days to 50% flowering (0.3005), days to 50% maturity (0.0838), peduncles per plant (0.2481), pods per peduncle (0.1064), pods per plant (0.6654), dry pod weight (0.6153), seeds per pod (0.4279), seeds per plant (0.7841), seed weight per plant (0.6534), TSS (0.2222), protein content % (0.1712), pod yield (0.8009), showed significant positive correlation with seed yield (kg/ha) at phenotypic level.
