Abstract

Cluster analysis among 204 genotypes of chick pea excluding checks for nine quantitative traits revealed considerable genetic diversity in the material. Ten clusters for nine characters were obtained. Cluster III consisted of maximum 38 genotypes followed by cluster X which consisted of 35 genotypes whereas, cluster I consisted of two genotypes (as cluster I showed the maximum intra cluster distances with other clusters hence both genotypes) the maximum inter cluster distance was recorded between clusters I and IX followed by clusters I and V and I and VI. hence genotypes belonging to these clusters can be used as parents for hybridisation programme for the development of high yielding chickpea genotypes.
