Genetic Variability and Association Studies on Yield and Yield Attributing Traits in Blackgram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper)

D. Shoba, J. Jecintha, J. Joselen Joyci, J.L. Joshi, M. Arumugam Pillai & S. Juliet Hepziba · Asian Research Journal of Agriculture · 2024

Aims: Low and static productivity (450–800 kg/ha) is one of the main obstacles in blackgram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper) crop. The low productivity is due to inadequate seed systems, a lack of access to genetic and genomic resources, and a lack of active breeding initiatives. Hence th...
