Abstract

Selection indices were constructed using 81 genotypes of dusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.). Four characters viz., pods/plant, pods/duster, 1000-seed weight and seed yield/plant were selected for the formulation of selection indices for seed yield. High expected genetic advance of 3.82 and high relative efficiency of 126.5% were exhibited by score involving all the four traits. The discriminant function revealed 26.5% higher efficiency over straight selection based on seed yield itself.
