Abstract:
Genetic diversity was studied in 65 coriander genotypes for ten yield and yield contributing traits. The cluster analysis grouped 65 coriander genotypes in to 13 clusters. Cluster I consisted of maximum genotype (47) followed by cluster II (4 genotypes) and clusters III, IV, V (2 genotypes each) while rest of the clusters had a single genotype in each. The maximum intra-cluster distance was observed in cluster V, followed by cluster II and IV, cluster I and cluster III. Highest inter-cluster distance was found in cluster VII and IX followed by cluster IX and XIII, cluster XI and XIII and cluster VI and IX. Cluster III and VI has smallest inter-cluster distance. The clusters VII, VIII and XI comprising a single genotype in each viz., NDCor 110, LCC 229 and RKCF 24, respectively were the best clusters for yield and other important yield contributing characters.
