Abstract

Phenology (time to flowering, podding and maturity) plays an important role for adaptation of chickpea to short-season environment, as early phenology triggers early pod setting and finally early physiological maturity. In kabuli chickpea Large-seeded varieties are gaining importance as they fetch high market price. Hence, the present investigation was undertaken to study the inheritance of phenology, seed size and seed yield and to study the association of phenology with seed size and seed yield. The experiment material comprised of five generations viz., P1, P2, F1, F2, and F3 of the four crosses namely, JCK 2 X ICC 16644 (C1), KAK 2 X ICC 16644(C2)2, KRIPA X ICC 16644 (C3) and ICC 17109 X ICC 16644 (C4), was conducted in vertisol on 12th Nov 2013 at ICRISAT, in compact family block design with three replications and observations were taken on 11 characters....
