| dc.description.abstract | Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) is the most important pulse accounting for more than one-third of the area and about 40% of the production of our country. In 1993-94 in India, the area of 7.76 million hectare produced 5.56 million tonnes of grain and productivity was 823 kg per hectare. The crop belongs to family Leguminosac and sub-family Papilionaceae. It is important source of protein, varying from 183 to 23.2 percent. Bihar produced about 940 thousand tonnes of crop from an area of 1084 thousand hectare during 1994-95. In plateau region of Chotanagpur and Santhal Pargana, the area under this crop is about 36.0 thousand ha. with a production of about 25.5 thousand tonnes and its productivity is about 429 kg per ha. The present investigation was carried out on the study of variability and character association in a collection of thirty genotype of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) of diverse origin under late sown condition. The analysis of variance indicated highly significant difference among thirty entries for the characters, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, branches per plant, pod size, seeds per pod, 100-seed weight and seed yield and significant for the character seed yield per plant. Wide range of phenotypic variability was observed for the characters days to 50% flowering, plant height, branches per plant, pods per plant, seed yield per plant, 100-seed weight and seed yield. Similar results have also been reported by Bhardwaj and Singh (1970). | |
