Abstract

The nature and magnitude of genetic divergence were assessed in 50 genotypes of Taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.)Schoot) germplasm of Nagaland. Based on the relative magnitude of D2 values, 50 genotypes were grouped into ten clusters for the year 2008 and nine clusters for the year 2009. The analysis revealed maximum contribution of corm girth, corm yield per plant and number of cormels towards genetic divergence. The clustering patterns indicate that geographic diversity has impact on genetic diversity.
