Abstract

Investigations on genetic divergence in twenty six genotypes of grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypchondriacus L) were conducted at the research farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, Chhattisgarh during rabi season 2017-2018. All genotypes were grouped into five clusters indicating wide diversity in the experimental material. Cluster III was the largest comprising 11 genotypes while cluster II was solitary with only one genotype. The inter-cluster distance was maximum between clusters II and V followed by IV, III and I. The diverse clusters derived could be used in hybridization programmes to evolve high yielding varieties of grain amaranth.
