Abstract
Forty five genotypes of chickpea were evaluated to know the genetic diversity. Genotype were grouped into seven clusters. Clusters I followed by cluster ll contains maximum number of genotypes while cluster VI was monogenetic. Genotypes Pusa 372, JG22, SG-94-5, JG-11 and Phule G-5 appeared promising to be used as parent in breeding programme. Characters such as seed yield, biological yield, 100 seed weight, pods perplant and branches per plant contributed more towards genetic divergence in Chickpea.
