ABSTRACT

The present investigation was conducted to study the interrelationship in F3 generation of three crosses, MGG-347 x MGG-351, MGG-351 x LGG-460 and LGG-460 x LGG-528 of green gram. In all the crosses, plant height, cluster per plant, pods per plant, pods per cluster, seeds per pod, harvest index and pod yield showed significant positive association with seed yield. Hence improvement in seed yield is possible by considering above characters as criteria in selection scheme in these crosses.
