Abstract

In Bangladesh, grasspea is cultivated since times immemorial. No improved variety so far has been released in Bangladesh and farmers use their own seed for cultivation. It is obvious that the evolutionary forces and human selection are the only factors causing variation in the cultivated populations. Fromplantbreeding point of view, naturally created variability is of great importance in the improvement of any crop. With this view in mind, the present study has been undertaken to evaluate the extent of variation in seed size of grasspea from the drought prone and coastal area of Bangladesh.
