Abstract
Variability for pod yield and its components was estimated among seventeen germplasm lines of tree bean (Parkia timoriana DC). Wide range of variations was recorded for the traits indicating diverse genetic nature of the base population. The days to mature immature pods varied from 108.9 to 132.5 but there were no statistical differences among the lines for this trait. Plant height varied from 260.9 to 389.6 cm, pod length from 12.5 to 24.1 cm, number of green pods from 6 to 9, 100-seed weight from 91.5 g to 140.8 g and green pod yield from 113.0 to 291.5 g/plant. A wide range of variations indicated that there was better scope for selection of these traits and identification of promising lines in tree bean.
