^aDF = days to flowering; DM = days to maturity; NBP = number of branches per plant; NPP = number of pods per plant; NSP = number of seeds per pod; PH = plant height; HSW = hundred-seed weight; GY = grain yield. CV = coefficient of variance; LSD = least significance difference. The varieties represented by “b, c, d, and e” are statistically different from the variety represented by “a“ at 5% level of significance for both traits. The variety represented by “a” has a greater value than varieties assigned “b, c, d, and e.” The same procedure is true to compare varieties represented by “b“ with those represented by c, d, and e.
