Grain legumes are the second main crop after cereals for human and animal diets and has main place in the world’s food and nutrition frugality. Grain legumes being a high beginning of protein alleviating protein deficiency and hunger of poor population in developing countries. The nitrogen fixing capability of legumes helps in sustaining the soil virility and texture (Graham and Vance 2003). Legume crop has low and doubtful productivity cause they mostly grown on borderline land under rainfed situation. Besides the hares new arid condition and rainfed position, lack of high yielding assortment, incidences of ailment and insect pest attack, sowing period, inadequate implantation and agronomic practices are the other bigger causes of low output of this crop. Genetic makeup helps in deciding the potential yield of crop. The availability of ancestral diversity and allure successful collection, perpetuation, utilization and preservation is pre-requisite for crop improvement program. The off-course genetic variety in any crop helps in identifying genotypes that maybe used in cultivating high-yielding assortments through hybridization. The historical variability existing in cluster grain germplasm has been judged by using differing morphological and biochemical traits. Conspicuous semantic variations are presented for branching (branched/unbranched), fertility (hairy/smooth), pod shape (straight/incise), growth habit (definite to indeterminate), pod posture pattern (regular/irregular). The study ratifies that the number of pods and number of branches are main characters for improvement of source yield in clusterbean.
