Abstract: There exists limited information on diverse genotypes available for breeding programme in Extra-Large Seeded Kabuli (ELSK) types. Of recent there had been a great demand in India towards the import of ELSK chickpea due to increased consumer demand. Department of Agriculture and Co-operation, government of India funded a programme on Integrated Scheme on Oilseeds, Pulses, Oil Palm and Maize (ISOPOM) project in which ELSK chickpea was one of the component and had an objective of evaluating divergent ELSK chickpea genotypes. Divergence studies in eighteen Extra-Large Seeded Kabuli (ELSK) genotypes done through Sequential agglomerative hierarchal nested cluster analysis (SAHN) of NTSYS-PC software (version 2.21b) indicated presence of considerable variability among the lines studied. Seed yield formed the primary divergent character for cluster formation and sub-grouping within a cluster followed the seed weight pattern. The clustering pattern grouped the genotypes into two major clusters and the ELSK genotypes PG4303 and KAK 2 of cluster 1 were most divergent to that of AP2 of cluster 2.
