Abstract
The diversity in germplasm can be effectively used to breed desirable cultivars and to challenge the consequences of the biological, physical and chemical stresses in the growing conditions. In the present study, 30 diverse French bean genotypes collected from different regions of Kashmir and three check varieties viz., Arka Arjun, Arka Sharath and Contender were evaluated under randomized complete block design with three replications. The genotypes were evaluated in genetic variability using various statistical procedures. The pod yield per hectare correlated positively and significantly with Plant height, Pod length, Number of pods per plant showing a scope for simultaneous improvement of yield and yield related traits. Principal Component biplot revealed that genotypes Arka Arjun, Sel-3, DARS-17, KDR-2019-3, WB-1455, WB- 9596 were the most genetically distinct genotypes.
