Analysis of variance revealed significant differences for all the traits understudy. The charactersviz., seed yield per plant, number of clusters per plant and number of pods per plant exhibited moderate Genotypic Coefficient of Variation (GCV) and high Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation (PCV). High differences between GCV and PCV were recorded for all the characters studied which indicated high influence of environment on these characters. The characters viz., protein content and seed index exhibited high heritability. Moderate estimates of genetic advance as percent of mean were recorded for seed yield per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per plant and seed index.
