Abstract: Studies was carried out to assess the genetic divergence among 38 dolichos bean genotypes using Mahalanobis D². 38 genotypes were grouped into seven clusters. Cluster I had highest number of genotypes (11) followed by cluster VII (9), cluster V (7), cluster VI (4), cluster II and cluster III (3), cluster IV (2) having 1 genotype. The maximum inter cluster distance was observed between cluster no. III and VII (62168.95) and cluster no. IV and V (2078.16) showed minimum inter cluster distance. The highest intra cluster distance was recorded for cluster no. III (1903.00) and cluster no. V (1176.59) showed minimum intra cluster distance.
