Correlation and Path Coefficient Analysis for Selecting Promising Chickpea Lines in F4 Generation | Chapter 11 | Current Research Progress in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 7

The Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) is the third most important pulse in the world which grows in over 40 countries and occupies a prominent position in cultivated areas. It is an important crop of rabi season in India. The investigation was conducted with 45 genotypes of Chickpeas comprising 30 elite lines of F4 generation, 12 parental lines, and 3 checks in randomized block design. These genotypes were evaluated for correlation among agronomical yield components and their direct and indirect effects on seed yield. The correlation coefficient analysis revealed that seed yield per plant exhibited a positive and significant correlation with plant height (0.2736, 0.2957), number of branches per plant (0.4912, 0.5492), pods per plant (0.4726, 0.4837), number of seeds per plant (0.4736, 0.4899), 100 seed weight (0.5892, 0.6193) and harvest index (0.4453, 0.4806) at both genotypic and phenotypic level. The traits of biological yield per plant and days to maturity showed a positive but nonsignificant association and days to 50% flowering showed a negative and nonsignificant association with seed yield per plant at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. The path analysis revealed that the high positive direct effect exhibited by branches per plant (0.2782) followed by 100-seed weight (0.2415), harvest index (0.2107), and number of pods per plant (0.1569) on grain yield at both genotypic and phenotypic level. Thus, the study suggests that plant height, number of branches per plant, pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, 100 seed weight, and harvest index are important traits for the selection criteria in the crop improvement program of chickpeas. Moreover, the study underscores the complexity of seed yield as a polygenic trait influenced by the direct and indirect effects of multiple components. The higher genotypic correlations compared to phenotypic correlations indicate the masking influence of the environment on genetic expression.

Assessment of Different Cultivars of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) Under Cluster Front Line Demonstration Programme in Changing Climate Variability in Samastipur District, Bihar, India | Chapter 7 | Research Advances and Challenges in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 2

The study introduced and evaluated two chickpea varieties, namely, BGM-547 and GNG-1581. Nutrient management plays a pivotal role that greatly affects the growth and yield of chickpea because this crop does not suit well to warm climate. The pulse cultivation has been drastically reducing in recent years mainly due to less and irregular precipitation during monsoon and reduction in winter days as this crop does not suit well to warm climate, resulting in shortage of pulses in the market. The chickpea has been most preferred pulse in Samastipur to be grown in rabi season. The present study was conducted to revive the chickpea cultivation employing new cultivars by KVK, Samastipur and carried out during rabi season in different blocks of the district during the years 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18. The Cluster Front Line Demonstration on chickpea varieties, namely, BGM-547 and GNG-1581 were taken up during each year for 15, 33 and 18 clusters, respectively. These demonstrations recorded higher average grain yield (13.75, 14.60 and 14.40 q/ha) of chickpea as compared to average yield obtained from farmers’ practice (12.5, 9.47 and 11.73 q/ha) computed to increase in yield by 9.09 %, 15.13% and 18.54 % during 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 respectively. Similarly, the benefit: cost ratio was 1.78, 2.11 and 2.08, respectively. The technology gap (q/ha), extension gap (q/ha) and technology index (%) were 6.25, 1.25 and 31.25 during 2015-16, 5.40, 5.13 and 27.00 were during 2016-17 and 9.60, 2.67 and 40.00 were 2017-18. The major differences observed between demonstration package and farmers’ practices were introduction of seed treatment with bio-fertilizer, method and time of sowing, fertilizer doses and method of its application and plant protection measures. The significant increase in yield is attributed due to introduction of new varieties in cluster mode. This mode facilitates better crop management resulting in better quality production. The study recorded a significant increase in chickpea yield compared to the average yield obtained from traditional farmer practices. The percentage increase in yield (9.09%, 15.13%, and 18.54% for the respective year) demonstrates the efficacy of the new cultivars and cultivation practices introduced. The technology gap, extension gap, and technology index provide a quantitative assessment of the impact of introducing new varieties in cluster mode. These parameters highlight the effectiveness of the new technologies in narrowing the gaps between potential and actual yield.

Exploring Genetic Diversity in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) | Chapter 7 | Current Research in Science and Technology Vol. 4

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important legumes for consumption in India as well as worldwide. In grain legumes, it ranks second in acreage and third in production with productivity of 913 kg/ha. India is the largest producer of chickpea, accounts 70.9% of the world cultivated area and produces 67.1% of the total world production. D2 statistical analysis is a tool which measures the degree of divergence among the population. Multivariate analysis with “Mahalanobis D2 statistics” a strong tool to know the pattern of clustering to verify the relationship between genetic and geographic divergence and to discover the importance of different quantitative traits towards the maximum divergence. The present investigation was undertaken to study the nature and magnitude of genetic diversity among chickpea genotypes. The experimental material comprised of forty genotypes of chickpea in Rabi 2016-17 at Pulse Research Farm, Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour (Bhagalpur). The experiment was laid in a randomized complete block design with three replications during Rabi with the inclusion of the recommended packages and practices needed for a healthy crop. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the forty genotypes for all the characters studied indicating that significant amount of genetic variability present in the material. The cluster I had maximum eleven genotypes followed by cluster VI, 08  genotypes, cluster III, 07 genotypes and IV having five genotypes, while cluster II and V had four genotypes, respectively.  The cluster VII was mono-genotypic having one genotype. The intra-cluster D2 value ranged from 0.00 to 25.16 while, inter-cluster D2 value ranged from 30.73 to 204.05. The maximum intra cluster distance was exhibited by cluster V followed by cluster I and cluster IV.  The maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster II and VII (204.05), followed by cluster II and V (170.79) and cluster III and V (157.56)  suggesting that the genetic architecture of the genotypes in one cluster differ entirely from those included in other clusters. The genotypes BAUG 108, H12-63, RKG13-380, AKG1303 and KWR108 were identified as genetically diverse parents, which can be utilized for future crop improvement programme in Chickpea. The above results indicate that these genotypes have maximum genetic diversity and useful for developing a large number of segregants through crossing programme by using maximum diverse genotypes.
