SELECTION INDICES IN CLUSTERBEAN (CYAMOPSIS TETRAGONOLOBA (L.) TAUB.)

Published on Oct 11, 2019 10:15 AM

Selection indices were constructed using 81 genotypes of dusterbean (Cyamopsis
tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.). Four characters viz., pods/plant, pods/duster, 1000-seed weight
and seed yield/plant were selected for the formulation of selection indices for seed yield.
High expected genetic advance of 3.82 and high relative efficiency of 126.5% were exhibited
by score involving all the four traits. The discriminant function revealed 26.5% higher
efficiency over straight selection based on seed yield itself

Keywords: C1usterbean, Cyal110l'sis lelraKon%ba, selection indices, relative efficiency.
