Moringa oleifera Lam. (common name: drum stick, horseradish tree) belongs to the monogeneric family, Moringaceae. Immature pods, fresh leaves and flowers of M. oleifera are used for culinary purposes. The leaves and young pods are a rich source of minerals and vitamins. In the present study, 23 genotypes of drumstick, which were selected based on superiority of yield/tree from 120 genotypes surveyed in South India were subjected to analysis morphology, yield and quality attributes and found they are substantially varying thus necessitate further analysis. Diversity analysis based on the coefficient of variation (CV), genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV), environmental coefficient of variation (ECV), phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and heritability were determined. Quantitative fruit traits such as fruit length (30.56–127.57 cm), fruit weight (72.22–163.27 g), fruit breadth (3–8 cm), number of fruits/tree (NF/T) (320–1000), and number of seeds/fruit (NS/F) (11–29) varied among the genotypes. Correlation studies revealed that the fruit yield had a significant, positive correlation with the number of fruits per tree, length of fruit and single fruit weight. The estimate of PCV was slightly higher than the GCV for all characters studied, indicating that the apparent variation is not only genetic but also influenced by the growing environment in the expression of the traits. Heritability was greater than 90% for all characters studied. The overall analysis outcome of the study emphasizes that selection of high yielding genotypes should give due weightage to the number of fruits per tree and single fruit weight.

辣木林。（通俗名称：鼓棒，辣根树）属于单属科，辣木科。未成熟的豆荚，新鲜的叶子和花辣木用于烹饪。叶子和幼豆荚富含矿物质和维生素。在本研究中，基于在印度南部调查的120种基因型中从产量/树的优势中选择的23种鼓槌基因型进行了形态，产量和质量属性的分析，发现它们之间存在显着差异，因此有必要进行进一步分析。确定了基于变异系数（CV），基因型变异系数（GCV），环境变异系数（ECV），表型变异系数（PCV）和遗传力的多样性分析。定量的果实性状，例如果实长度（30.56–127.57 cm），果实重量（72.22–163.27 g），果实宽度（3–8 cm），果实/树的数量（NF / T）（320–1000）和数量不同基因型的种子/果实（NS / F）（11-29）差异。相关性研究表明，果实产量与每棵树的果实数量，果实长度和单果重具有显着正相关。对于所有研究的字符，PCV的估计值略高于GCV，这表明表观变异不仅是遗传的，而且还受性状表达中生长环境的影响。所有研究字符的遗传力均大于90％。研究的总体分析结果强调，选择高产基因型应适当权衡每棵树的果实数量和单果重。对于所有研究的字符，PCV的估计值略高于GCV，这表明表观变异不仅是遗传的，而且还受性状表达中生长环境的影响。所有研究字符的遗传力均大于90％。研究的总体分析结果强调，选择高产基因型应适当权衡每棵树的果实数量和单果重。对于所有研究的字符，PCV的估计值略高于GCV，这表明表观变异不仅是遗传的，而且还受性状表达中生长环境的影响。所有研究字符的遗传力均大于90％。研究的总体分析结果强调，选择高产基因型应适当权衡每棵树的果实数量和单果重。
