Abstract: Seventy four French bean germplasm were evaluated for twenty two quantitative traits to study the genetic diversity during Jan-Feb in G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology. Principal component analysis showed that the first principal component had maximum of 30.85% variation of total variation, while the first seven principal component axes together with explained 83.41% variation, suggesting first seven principal axes are adequate to explain the variation in reduced dimension. Clustering through D2 analysis revealed maximum inter-cluster distance of clusters V and IX (1405.141) followed by cluster III and IX (1297.298).
