Based on the results, the genotypes were categorized into 10 clusters connoting the existence of ample genetic diversity in the material evaluated. Cluster I was the largest with 56 genotypes. This was followed by cluster IV with four genotypes; cluster VII with three genotypes and the remaining were monogenotypic clusters. Maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster VI and VIII (19.02) implying that utilization of the genotypes in those clusters might result in desired F 1 's upon hybridization.The study also revealed that the traits in the genotypes viz., SCMR (30.31%) followed by hull content (24.39%) contributed more to the total genetic divergence. Five genotypes belonging to monogenotypic clusters viz., DRM-342, R-45, CPI-1, NDI-16 and CMS-17B can be utilized in future breeding programme to harness desired heterotic F 1 s.

The crop productivity would always be influenced by the water resource available to a crop. Accordingly, linear and quadratic regression models of yield were calibrated to predict the yield of crops through canal water supplied in different years. The regression models were assessed based on the significance of coefficient of determination (R 2) and magnitude of prediction error (PE) of the yield over years. The canal water released in different years was found to significantly influence the yield of paddy, groundnut, cotton and sugarcane crops under the TGP command area. The quadratic regression models gave higher and significant values of R 2 compared to the linear regression models calibrated for different crops. The predictability of yield was found to be 0.725 under quadratic model compared to 0.605 under linear model for paddy, while it was 0.458 under quadratic model compared to 0.406 under linear model for groundnut. In case of sugarcane, the predictability of Original Research Article

Seventy genotypes of sunflower were evaluated in a randomized complete block design replicated thrice for assessment of genetic diversity. Highly significant differences were observed for all the characters studied. The results of PCA revealed that the traits viz., plant height, head diameter, 100 achene weight, number of achenes per head, volume weight, and leaf area index can be utilized as selection criterion for increasing variability which can be harnessed in hybridization programmes to generate transgressive segregants.

Based on Tocher's method, the entire genetic resources were partitioned into nine distinct nonoverlapping clusters suggesting availabilty of substantial genetic diversity. Cluster I was the largest comprising of large number of accessions (36) followed by cluster II with (7) accessions and the remaining were mono genotypic clusters III, IV, V,VI,VII, VIII and IX containing only single accession each indicating high degree of heterogeneity among the genotypes. Clusters II and IX showed maximum inter-cluster distance between them implying these genetic resources with high degree of genetic diversity may be utilized in inter-varietal hybridization programme. The trait, culm branches followed by 1000 grain weight contributed maximum towards total divergence indicating feasibility of improvement through those characters.

Cluster III (16) was maximum followed by cluster VIII (14), cluster IX (12), cluster VII (11) and cluster V (10). The clusters IV, VI and XI comprised of eight genotypes each. Seven and five genotypes were grouped in clusters X and II, respectively. The cluster I registered as monogenotypic / solitary cluster. Considering the distribution of genotypes, it can be concluded that cross between SiA 3222 x SiA 3580 has good chance of generating heterotic hybrids or transgressive segregants, depending on the gene action controlling the traits.
