Title: Study of Heritability, Genetic Advance and Variability for Yield Contributing Characters in Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millspaugh)
Abstract: Genetic parameters for yield and its correspondent characters in pigeon pea were estimated from a trial with 27 genotypes of pigeonpea, these genotypes were obtained from ICRISAT (Hyderabad), various parts of U.P and M.P. evaluated for thirteen characters related to yield. Low, moderate, and high genotypicand phenotypic coefficient of variations were observed. High genotypic and phenotypic co-efficient of variations were expressed by number of pods per plant, harvest index, biological yield per plant and grain yield per plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was exhibited by days to maturity, days to 50% flowering, days to initial flowering, plantheight, number of pods per plant, biological yield per plant, grain yield per plant and harvest index so selection may be effective for these characters.
