Abstract

Fifty genotypes of cowpea were grouped in to thirteen clusters by Mahalanobls D2 statistics. The genotypes IT -86-F-310-6 and IT-87-0-272 had distinct identity with respect to yield attributes. Hybridization between genotypes of cluster VIII and XIII should result In desirable combinations leading to development of usual genetic stocks and varieties. Among the yield attributing characters, seeds per pod, number of branches, number of pods per cluster and pod length were the important traits responsible for the divergence recorded
