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.)
