College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, during summer 2004 comprising five generations (P1, P2, F1, F2 and F3) of six crosses viz., I (ACP-41 x Pusa Phalguni), II (ACP-43 x Pusa Phalguni), III (ACP-58 x Pusa Phalguni), IV (ACP-65 x Pusa Phalguni), V (ACP-126 x Pusa Phalguni) and VI (ACP-139 x Pusa Phalguni) involving 7 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 to study the inheritance of qualitative characters (viz., flower colour, seed coat colour and resistance to cowpea golden mosaic virus) in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.)
