Abstract
AbstractInter‐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.
