| Abstract: | Inter-generation correlations between F2-F3, F2-F4 and F3-F4 in six crosses of chickpea were calculated by using individual plant/progeny means. In general, correlation values in case of plant height, seeds per pod and 100-seed weight were higher between F3 and F4 than those between F2 and F3 and F2 and F4. However, inter-generation correlations were mostly non-significant in case of pods per plant and grain yield. These results clearly show that selection in F3 can be fruitful for seeds per pod and 100-seed weight. However, selection for pods per plant and grain yield in early generations may not show any relationship with later generation performance for these traits. |
