In this experiment sixty linseed genotypes including three checks viz. RLC-133, RLC-143 and RLC-148 was evaluated to determine genetic diversity by Mahalanobis D2 statistics during rabi 2022-23 at the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, IGKV, Raipur, C.G., India. It revealed that sixty genotypes were grouped into eight clusters. Result envisaged that genotypes grouped within a particular cluster are more or less genetically similar. Maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster 7-8 (516.3), whereas minimum inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster 2-6 (28.35). The highest intra-cluster distances were observed between cluster 3-3 (67), whereas lowest intra-cluster between 2-2, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7 and 8-8. So, it could be suggested that hybridization program involving genotypes from the farthest diverse clusters (Cluster 7 and 8 and cluster 5 and 7) are likely to achieve wider and desirable heterotic recombinants or even transgressive segregants. The highest contribution in divergence was found in seed yield per plant (g), followed by number of capsules per plant and other traits.
