ABSTRACT
Experimental material consisted 252 intra-specific recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between desi (ICC 283) and kabuli (ICC 8261) type of chickpea, received from ICRISAT, Patancheru, India. Experiment was conducted at Rafi Ahmed Kidwai College of Agriculture, Sehore, Bhopal, India, during rabi 2011-12 and 2012-13. Traits assessed were days to 50% flowering, maturity, plant height, biological yield, seed yield, harvest index and 100-seed weight. Standard statistical analysis was adopted for calculating the genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance. Out of seven characters studied biological yield, seed yield, harvest index and 100-seed weight exhibited high genotypic coefficient of variation and heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean which revealed that these traits might be under control of additive gene effects and therefore these traits are more reliable for effective selection for developing desirable lines.
Key words: Chickpea, RILs, Yield traits, Genetic variability and Heritability
