Abstract:

In the present study all the 30 genotypes were grouped into six non overlapping clusters based on non- hierarchical Euclidean cluster analysis. Maximum numbers of genotypes (7) were grouped in cluster-I, IV and VI followed by cluster-II (5), cluster-V (3) and cluster III with one genotype. Inter-cluster distances was highest between cluster IV and VI (916.73) followed by III and V (846.80). Among the 21 characters studied, grain yield plant-1, stover yield plant-1, number of kernels per row and ear height contributed maximum towards the total divergence.


Keywords: Maize, Cluster analysis, Principal Component Analysis.
