Genetic divergence in linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) germplasm under late sown condition

One hundred forty genotypes were studied for their genetic divergence in late sown condition through cluster analysis. The results revealed that there were significant differences among linseed germplasm for eight traits. Under late sown conditions, days to 50% flowering and number of capsules per plant are two important characters to be selected to increase seed yield. Intercrossing of selected genotypes from both the distant cluster IV and I would provide enough scope for recombination breeding programme.
