Abstract
Genetic variability among thirty urdbean germplasm was assessed for twelve quantitative traits. These genotypes along with two checks ‘Indira Urd Pratham’ and ‘KU-96-3’ were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications during Kharif 2023.Wide range of variability was observed for quantitative traits. The high value of genotypic coefficient of variation and phenotypic coefficient of variation was obtained by seed yield per plant, whereas, number of branches per plant showed high value of GCV and PCV. High heritability and high genetic advance as percent of mean was shown by trait plant height, number of branches per plant, number of pods per cluster and number of clusters per plant.
Keywords: Genetic variability, blackgram, phaseolus sublobatus, heritability
