A field experiment was conducted to study the suitability of clusterbean varieties for alfisols of scarce rainfall zone under rainfed conditions for two years during kharif, 2014-15 and 2015-16 at Agricultural Research Station, Ananthapuram of Andhra Pradesh. Results revealed that different clusterbean varieties did not exhibit significant influence on plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, test weight, seed and haulm yield. The correlation studies between yield attributes and yield based on two years investigation revealed that number of seeds per plant was significantly and positively influenced by plant height and number of pods per plant. The test weight has significant positive correlation with plant height, number of pods and number of seeds per plant. Seed yield was positively and significantly correlated with number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant and test weight. The haulm yield expressed significant positive correlation with number of seeds per plant and seed yield.
