Abstract

Fifty genotypes of yard long bean collected from various agro-climatic regions of Kerala were characterized during 2001–2005. Yield per plant showed strong positive genotypic correlation with pods per cluster, pods per plant, pod weight, pod length, pod breadth and seeds per pod. The present investigation revealed high positive direct effects of pods per plant on yield per plant.
