Studies on association of yield and quality contributing parameters in Faba bean (Vicia faba L.)
Abstract
The present investigation was conducted in normal soil under irrigated condition. The experimental material constituted 25 germplasm lines with check variety Vikrant. A wide range of variation for different characters and comparison of means of germplasm lines using least significant differences indicated existence of very high degree of variability for all the characters in the germplasm collection. The superior lines identified for seed yield and other characters may be used as donor parents in hybridization programme for the characters to which they showed high mean performance. Seed yield per plant showed highly significant and positive correlation with plant height followed by days to maturity and showed non-significant correlation with other character. The characters identified above as important direct and indirect yield components merit due consideration in formulating selection strategy in faba bean for selection of high yielding varieties. The six clusters in divergence analysis contained genotypes of heterogeneous origin, thereby indicating no parallelism between genetic and geographic diversity.References
