Abstract
The genotypes investigated had a lot of variance in all of the morphological features, according to the analysis of genotype variability. The most significant variance was found in biomass, followed by the number of primary branches and umbels per plant. The number of days to maturity and the number of days to 50% flowering showed the least variation. The coefficients of variation, as well as the signs used for metroglyph, are included in the range of variability. The results of the investigation revealed that the index scores ranged from 12 to 27. The genotype clusters of similarity were identified by plotting the distribution of index scores. A total of 128 genotypes were grouped into four primary clusters. The cluster identity was also discovered by analysing the clusters for contributory qualities for the index scores. Major contributory features for each cluster's index scores. Anderson's metroglyph is a technique for grouping genotypes that is reasonably straightforward.
