Abstract

The experimental material comprised of 112 genotypes of chickpea grown under rice based cropping system. Cluster analysis was carried out for these genotypes were grouped into Five and cluster clusters. The intra and inter cluster distances were computed for all the clusters. The results indicated that the genotypes belonging to clusters possessing high inter cluster distance between themmay be used in the future hybridization programmes for the development of high yielding chickpea genotypes.
