Abstract
Genetic divergence was studied among eighteen germplasm lines Soybean
(Glycine max) by using Mahalanobis D2 analysis. Analysis of
variances for dispersion showed significant differences among the genotypes and
these genotypes were grouped into four clusters. The cluster I consisted of ten
genotypes, cluster II has four genotyps, cluster III having three genotypes
whereas cluster I has single genotype. Highest inter cluster distance observed
among all clusters, while cluster III shown maximum intra cluster distance.
Characters days to 50 % flowering (24.68 %) contributed maximum towards genetic
divergence followed by number of pods per plant (21.84 %), plant height (g)
(17.74 %), number of primary branches (15.68 %), number of seeds per pod (5.84
%) and 100 seed weight (5.79 %). All four clusters shown high cluster means for
yield and yield components, therefore genotypes viz. JS-2098, MAUS-162, JS 95-60, MAUS-612,
AKH081, SL-525 and JS- 20-29 of these diverse clusters may be used for further
breeding programs.
