Five cross combinations of pigeon pea were chosen and their F2
generations were studied
employing the variability analysis to compare the efficiency of two selection methods viz.
Honeycomb and Random Selection. High mean value (97.70) was noted for the character,
number of pods per plant in honeycomb model. The Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation (PCV)
(29,09) and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation (GCV) (27.18) values were high for the
economically important character, single plant yield in honeycomb selection. The heriability
estimate (95.67) for the character, number of clusters per plant was observed to be the higher in
honeycomb selection than random selection. It could be inferred that the honeycomb design of
planting facilitates and environment that enables the population to express their variability and
inturn helps the breeder to enhance the selection procedure. |
