Seventy seven genotypes of mungbean were evaluated for ten different characters and mean values were worked for genetic diversity by Mahalanobis D2 statistic. The results of multivariate analysis (D2) indicated the presence of considerable genetic divergence among these genotypes. The genotypes were grouped into 9 clusters. Cluster III had maximum intra-cluster distance while inter-cluster distance was highest between clusters VIII and IX. cluster means indicated that none of the cluster was superior for all the characters studied. Therefore, hybridization between genotypes belonging to different clusters is suggested for development of superior genotypes.

Abstract


Seventy seven genotypes of mungbean were evaluated for ten different characters and mean values were worked for genetic diversity by Mahalanobis D2 statistic. The results of multivariate analysis (D2) indicated the presence of considerable genetic divergence among these genotypes. The genotypes were grouped into 9 clusters. Cluster III had maximum intra-cluster distance while inter-cluster distance was highest between clusters VIII and IX. cluster means indicated that none of the cluster was superior for all the characters studied. Therefore, hybridization between genotypes belonging to different clusters is suggested for development of superior genotypes.
