This study aims to assess genetic divergence among 42 chickpea cultivars and investigate relationships between traits and seed yield. The study will be conducted in Allahabad, India in a randomized block design with 3 replications. Data on days to flowering, plant height, branches, pods, seeds/pod, maturity, seed index, biological yield, seed yield, and harvest index will be collected. Statistical analyses including ANOVA, coefficient of variation, heritability, and D2 analysis will determine genetic diversity and relationships between traits and yield to identify parents for hybridization and breeding to improve chickpea varieties.
