Significant differences were recorded in each of eleven yield components studied in 54
varieties, of which half were erect and half were spreading types. High genotypic coefficients
of variation and high genetic advance were found for number of secondary branches, pod
number, number of primary branches and number of fruiting nodes per secondary branch in
the erect group, and for grain weight, pod number, pod yield and number of one-seeded
pods in the spreading group. Genotypic correlation coefficients were generally higher than …
