Abstract


Genotypic variability ,heritability,genetic advance and the scope of seection for yield atributes were studied in sixteen cultivars of black gram(Phaseolus mungo L.)The genotypic and phenotpic variance are high for number of pod and height of plant while it is medium for grain weight.number of clusters for plant height and number of pods plant indicate the additive gene effects.The genetic advance as percentage of mean indicated that height of plant and grain weight per plant can be improved through selection by 50 per cent.
