The ideal plant type being visualized here, on the basis of twelve evaluated parameters, is early flowering, early podding, tall, having more primary and secondary branches, early maturing, more pods per plant, more seeds/pod, more biological yield per plant, more seed yield per plant, high harvest index and higher 100 seed weight. From same data set we can select various plant types by changing selection criteria as per our farmers’ needs. From this NCR analysis it is also clear that top performer viz., PUSA 362 has scope for future improvement in parameters like secondary branches per plant (SBPP), days to maturity (D2M), harvest index (HI) and primary branches per plant (PBPP). These characters can be improved by crossing PUSA 362 with CSG 515 (ranking first in SBPP), IPC 94- 94 or ICC 1009 (both ranking first in D2M), ICC 3535 (ranking first in HI) and KWR 108 (ranking first in PBPP) respectively.
