Quantitative Analysis of some Germplasms of lablab Bean in Uttar Pradesh

Quantitative Analysis of some Germplasms of lablab Bean in Uttar Pradesh



Arvind Kumar



Lablab purpureus (L.) sweet is an ancient multipurpose
legume that combines use as human food and forage in addition to serving
as a cover crop for soil conservation. The crop is believed to be
cultivated in south India as early as 1400 – 1500 BC. Although wide
variability for agro-morphological traits exists in India, a more
extensive germplasm collection and evaluation has not been reported so
far. Hence the present study was undertaken with a set of 50 lablab
accessions mainly collected from south India including nine accessions
of exotic origin. All the 50 accessions were characterized for 29
qualitative and 10 quantitative traits. Further, there exists very high
genetic differentiation between the exotic and the lines of Indian
origin as also evident from biplot and scatter plot analysis. Although
the exotic lines deviated for the Indian lines for majority of the
traits, much of the useful variation for genetic improvement of
vegetable traits existed among the Indian accessions while, the exotic
lines possessed traits of forage importance.
