Abstract
BACKGROUND: Horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.) is an underutilized pulse crop with good drought resistance traits. It is a rich source of protein. Conventional breeding methods for high yielding and abiotic stress tolerant germplasm are hampered by the scarcity of morphological data sets. Thus, horse gram cultivars considered for this study is classified based on prevailing growth factors showing homogenous genotype in various agro ecological zones. Nowadays, several machine learning (ML) methods are used in the field of plant phenotyping.
