Abstract

Thirty diverse genotypes of fenugreek, collected from different parts of India, were grown under two agronomic practices during winter seasons of 2002–03 to 2004–05. Based on overall environmental indices, a “rich” environment and a “poor” environment were selected. Genetic divergence in fenugreek was evaluated. Clustering patterns indicated that 19 genotypes of the largest cluster in the poor environment were distributed into 6 clusters in the rich environment. This indicated that the rich environment made finer discrimination among genotypes as compared with the poor environment. A majority of the genotypes in Cluster 3 in the rich environment was common with Cluster 2 (containing genotypes from Gujarat) in the poor environment. The distribution pattern of genotypes in different clusters indicated that genetic divergence was, in general, not related to geographical differentiation. Genotypes having prefix IC had higher genetic distance with other genotypes than that among the rest non-IC genotypes and t...
