Abstract
The present study conducted at Department of Plant Breeding and
Cytogenetics, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand,
during summer 2004 was comprised of six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2) of
six crosses viz., I (ACP-43 x Pusa Phalguni), II (ACP-65 x Pusa Phalguni), III
(ACP-126 x Pusa Phalguni), IV (ACP-139 x Pusa Phalguni),
V (GC-1 x ACP-41) and VI (ACP-66 x ACP-142) involving 9 pure lines and laid
out in a compact family block design replicated four times for the estimation of
genetic parameters (Gene action, heterosis, inbreeding depression, heritability and
genetic advance) for yield, yield components and resistance to root-knot
nematodes in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.).
