- Observation Seed yield had high genetic coefficient of variation, heritability and genetic advance.
- Association Clusters of pods per plant had the greatest direct positive effect on seed yield per plant at phenotypic and genotypic levels.
- Association Pod length had a negative direct phenotypic effect on seed yield.
- Association Plant height had a negative direct phenotypic effect on seed yield.
- Association Test weight had a negative direct phenotypic effect on seed yield.
- Association Pods per cluster had a negative direct phenotypic effect on seed yield.
