New blackgram genotypes show potential for higher yield and crop improvement.
The researchers studied 30 different types of blackgram plants to see which ones had the best traits for high yield. They grew the plants in two different seasons and found that traits like number of pods per plant and grain yield were highly variable. They also discovered that these traits were mostly inherited, meaning they could be passed down to future generations. This suggests that selecting plants with high pod numbers and grain yield could help improve blackgram production.
