Abstract
Research work on genetic divergence, analysis was estimated in 62 genotypes of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) grown in an Augmented Block Design during (Ravi) Summer season of 2019-20 at the Main Experiment Station of the Department of Vegetable Science Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Ayodhya. The objective of this study was to characterize morphological differences and yield related traits among 62 coriander genotypes. The estimation of genetic diversity among tested genotypes was highly significant, which got grouped into 10 clusters with cluster I comprising maximum genotypes. Cluster X (94.18) were observed as a maximum intra cluster distance pursued by cluster IV (74.26), cluster III (67.45), cluster II (64.43), cluster I (35.72). Similarly Inter-cluster distance maximum value was found between cluster IV with cluster X (575.40) were pursued by cluster VII with cluster X (429.75), cluster II with cluster X (345.80). Although maximum cluster means for seed yield traits was recorded for VII and VI respectively, suggestion a wide range of diversity among most of the economic traits that would enable breeder to identify the genotypes with suitable traits should be used in direct selection and improvement also a programme according genetic divergence bases. 62 accession showed distinguished variation in the dendrogram for all the studied parameters.
