ABSTRACT
Among the pulses, chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is an imperative crop. The objective of the study was to assess the morphological diversity in in plant. The twenty cultivars and eleven morphological characters were engaged in this case. Genotype 1140, 7044 and 1120 had maximum number of days to flowering. And the genotype 95103 had minimum (113.3) number of days to flowering. The maximum number of days (165.02) to development/maturity were noted in 1207 and minimum (156.03) were in 7018. The cultivar 1006 was the genotype which scored highest height 73.13 cm. The highest pods in single plant were in genotype 102 having 24.64 pods and other variety, 1207 had 24 pods. The 810 genotype had the most grains in single pod (1.726). Almost similar were in 1115 as were 1.720. Pod length was on peak (2.79 cm) in genotype 6011 followed by 2.72 cm in 1207. 7044 genotype got the least pod length as was on 2.0 cm. The highest 100 grain weight was in 7044 which was 26.80 g. The maximum grain yield per plant was in 7044 that was 18.030 g, so this cultivar was more profitable than the others. It was discovered that significant genetic changeability existed among the genotypes for the characters under study. The genotypes were identified as inherently diverse and can be engaged in forthcoming chickpea enhancement series.
