A set of twenty-five genotypes of chickpea were evaluated for studying of “Genetic variability and correlation study in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)”. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Block Design with three replications during the rabi season, 2019-20 at Naini Agriculture Institute, Naini. The data were recorded for thirteen characters for each genotype in all the replications. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for all 13 characters. High GCV and PCV in chickpea germplasm were observed for No. of seeds per plant, no. of pods per plant, grain yield per plant, biological yield per plant, no. of secondary branches per plant, no. of seed per pod and 100-seed weight. High estimate of heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was recorded for no. of seeds per plant, no. of pods per plant, biological yield per plant, 100-seed weight, grain yield per plant, no. of seed per pod, no. of primary branches per plant, no. of secondary branches per plant. Seed yield per plant exhibited positive and highly significant correlation at both the levels with days to 50% pod setting, plant height, no. of primary branches per plant, no. of secondary branches per plant ,no. of pods per plant ,no. of seeds per plant ,biological yield per plant , and harvest index. Path analysis revealed that direct effect of biological yield per plant, harvest index and no.of seeds per plant were of high magnitude

The present investigation on variability parameters, correlation and path analysis for different characteristics in germplasm of black gram [Vigna mungo (L.) was undertaken during Summer-2019. Evaluation of 30 genotypes revealed moderate genetic advance as % of mean for no. of primary branches/plant, and grain yield per plant, therefore, selection may be effective for these characters. Number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod at genotypic as well as phenotypic level showed positive significant correlation with seed yield per plant. Days to 50% flowering, number of branches per plant, 100 seed weight, harvest index showed positive direct effect on seed yield per plant at phenotypic and genotypic level

The present investigation was prevailed to examine the 25 black gram genotypes along with one check (SHEKHAR-2) to study the genetic variability and heritability. Analysis of variance showed highly significant differences among 25 black gram genotypes all the 13 quantitative characters studied. Maximum phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation was recorded for harvest index (22.162 & 13.138) followed by seed yield per plant (16.775 & 10.695), no of primary branches per plant (12.013 & 7.972). Heritability estimates revealed that characters like days to 50% flowering and number of seeds per pod was high. Seed index and pod length was low. Highest genetic advance recorded for harvest index (5.951), plant height (5.199). Highest genetic advance as percentage mean recorded for number of seeds per pod (17.05), harvest index (16.045). In general, genotypic correlation is higher than phenotypic ones. Correlation coefficient analysis revealed that seed yield per plant exhibited significant and positive correlation both at genotypic and phenotypic level with harvest index (0.820 & 0.715), number of clusters per plant (0.493 & 0.368), number of pods per plant (0.787 & 0.616), number of seeds per pod (0.249 & 0.776). Hence direct selection for these traits could be helpful in improvement of black gram breeding. Path analysis revealed that the characters like days to 50% pod setting, number of clusters per plant exhibited negative direct effect on seed yield per plant at both phenotypic and genotypic level

The present investigation was carried out on 24 genotypes of blackgram during Kharif-2019 to study genetic variability among 13 quantitative traits viz., Days to 50% flowering, days to 50 % pod setting, days to maturity, plant height, number of primary branches, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per plant. Number of seeds per pod, pod length (cm), seed index, biological yield (g), harvest index (%) and seed yield (kg/ha). Present experimental findings revealed that biological yield, harvest index, number of primary branches and seed yield per plant showed medium to high GCV, PCV, heritability and Genetic advance as percept of mean. Thus, based on mean performance, the genotypes SU URD-63 followed by Shekhar-2, SU URD -73, SU URD-60, and PLU-250 genotypes coupled with high mean performance for seed yield per plant
