Genetic variability, correlation and path-co-efficient of green pod yield and its components were studied in one hundred and thirteen cultivars of clusterbean Green pod yield per plant and pod number were recorded to have high genotypic coefficient of variation as compared to other components. Green pod yield per plant and pod number had maximum heritability and genetic advance (per cent of mean) together. Green pod yield showed positive significant correlation with pod number, pod weight and number of clusters per plant. Path-analysis revealed that the pod number, seeds per pod and days to fruit maturity exhibited positive direct efiect on green pod yield while other traits showed negative direct efiect. It could be advocated that the pod number which is the main component of green pod yield should be given maximum emphasis in selection programme.
