Thirty Desmodium gangeticum (L.) DC. accessions were evaluated for genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for four yield attributing traits collected from different parts of India. The analysis of variance for mean squares for different characters was found to be highly significant for most of the characters under study except for lamina width, petiole length and internode length. Parameters of variability studies such as genotypic coefficient of variation, phenotypic coefficient of variation, heritability (broad sense) and expected genetic advance over mean were calculated and the data indicated that ample amount of variability exists in the available germplasm lines. | Genetic diversity studies in Desmodium gangeticum L.
