The mean performance revealed that BG7004AS despite its recorded low number of pods per plant, had the highest 00 seed weight, pod width, pod length, seed width and seed length, followed by BG700AS, BG7009BS and BG7000AS, which had the best yield and yield component attributes, indicating their suitability for hybridization. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences (p<0.05) among the cultivars for most of the characters evaluated. The genotypic coefficient of variation ranged from 3.9 for height at 8 weeks after sowing to 6.5 for 00 seed weight, while the phenotypic coefficient of variation ranged from 4.93 for shelling percentage to 6.56 for 00 seed weight. Furthermore, estimates genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation as well broad sense heritability was also high for characters in 004 relative 005. Seed length, pod length and pod width recorded 00% broad sense heritability estimates and high genetic advance, indicating that these characters are under additive genetic control and selection for improvement will be worthwhile and may rapidly contribute to seed yield in bambara groundnut cultivars. Key words:genetic Advance Heritability Genotypic And Phenotypic Coefficient Of Variation Seed Yield And Variation INTRODUCTION Genetic studies in bambara groundnut is limited in sub Sahara Africa, this trend is associated with little Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc) preference for this crop among researchers in sub Sahara belongs to the fabaceae, subfamily papilionoideae [, ]. Africa, often termed Orphan crop. Little attempts have It is the third most important grain legume after groundnut been made to improve this crop through conventional (Arachis hypogea L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) in breeding and selection, because the crop is an important Sub-Sahara Africa [3]. The annual world production is staple and economic among farmers. Most cultivated 330,000t, 45-50% of which are produced in West Africa varieties in sub Sahara Africa are largely products of (Nigeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Cote d Ivoire, Ghana introduction and selection, while hybridization in this crop and Mali) []. Bambara groundnut is cultivated primarily is limited. In genetic studies, characters with high for its subterranean pods [4]; rich in protein which helps genotypic coefficient of variation indicate the potential for to alleviate nutritional disorders in human and livestock an effective selection. Yield has been identified as a [5]. Immature seeds of bambara groundnuts are often complex character; associated with some yield boiled and eaten as a snack; vegetable milk and fermented contributing characters and are polygenic [8]. Genetic products such as (Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) can be made variability in a base population plays an important role in from the seeds. Bambara groundnut fixes atmospheric any crop breeding program. The extent of diversity in the nitrogen through symbiosis with Rhizobium bacteria and population determines the magnitude of selection. therefore beneficial in crop rotations and intercropping Characters that influence yield are quantitatively inherited [6, 7] and production constraints of the crop in Nigeria and are influenced by interaction with the environment. includes: poor quality seeds, poor nodulation, low For breeding program to improve pod yield in bambara germination, instability in fodder and seed yield. groundnut, it is essential that plant characters that Corresonding Author: P.M Jonah, Department of Crop Science, Adamawa State University, P.M.B. 5 Mubi, Nigeria. 50

Therefore, the as recommended by Hepper [9], benlate (Benomyl) was information on the nature and extent of genetic variability th th sprayed at the rate of 30g/0L of water, at 5 and 6 weeks and transmission of traits is of paramount importance in after sowing. Data was collected on all the plants within enhancing the efficiency of selection for seed and pod the two middle rows. Characters measured includes: plant yield. This study was undertaken to estimate the extent of emergence and emergence percentage at weeks after genetic variability, heritability and relationships between sowing. Plant height (cm) at 8 weeks after sowing was the various yield components in bambara groundnut, in measured on ten randomly selected plants within the two order to formulate an effective breeding program for high middle rows.

In the same vein both length and research farm, Adamawa State University Mubi, Nigeria width of seeds were determined.

Field experiment was The mean for each trait over three replication and two laid out in a randomized complete block design with three years was computed for each cultivar and submitted for replications, each plot was 0m and a total experimental area was 595m. The experimental site was ploughed and harrowed, two seeds of each cultivar were sown at 50cm between plants, a total of 64 plants were established per plot. Weeding was done manually using hand hoe at 4 and 8 weeks after sowing. Fertilizer application of 60kg super phosphate per hectare was applied shortly after planting statistic using PROC MEA using PROC GLM procedure of SAS [0]. Broad sense heritability was computed as specified by using the method of Singh and Chaudhary [] and Moll et al., [] as: H B = g p 5

Several studies have highlighted the g = genotypic var iance presence of genotype by environment interaction in crops; in okra [4], cassava [5] and maize [6]. This necessitates the selection of crops for specific p = phenotypic variance environment, wherein stability over environments is poor. Therefore inconsistencies in seed yield and agronomic RESULTS AND DISCUSSION characters over years implied that farmers must have been discouraged by this phenomenon which might have Mean seed yield among the cultivars ranged between accounted for yield losses and 80. kg ha (Table ), this provides basis for Table 4 represents the mean, range, genotypic and selection among the cultivars. From the mean phenotypic coefficient of variation, estimates of broad performance, BG700AS, BG7009BS, BG7000AS and sense heritability (H B) and genetic advance of seed yield BG7004AS showed clear superiority in terms of yield and and related characters on yearly basis.
