Abstract

Genetic divergence was studied among 18 pear accessions being grown at Experimental Farm of CITH, Srinagar, J&K. Highest number of genotypes were groped in cluster II. Average cluster mean was recoreded maximum in cluster IV for most of the characters. Inter cluster D2 values were higher than intra cluster value. Highest intra-cluster value (2.513) was noted in cluster II and minimum values intra-cluster distance were exhibited in IV, III and I clusters.
