Eighteen elite genotypes (848, 4047, 810, 447, BRC-27, ILC-918, 1036, 4012, 109, 290, 5006, 932, 107, BRC-20, 406, 1028, 228 and 928) and two varieties (Bittal and CM-72) of chickpea were used to analyze the means and components of variability (genetic, phenotypic and environmental), heritability (h2bs), genetic advance and interrelationships (genetic and phenotypic) for yield and various other yield components. The results suggested that pods per plant, seeds per plant, 100-seed weight and total weight of plant might be useful while selecting for high yielding genotypes of chickpea. It was also suggested from the mean values of hundred seed weight, total weight of plant and seed yield per plant that chickpea genotypes 932, BRC-27 and Bittal98 may be used as parents in further breeding program to develop high yielding cultivars.
