Abstract:
In the current study, 25 germplasm of Indian mustard were used during the rabi season of 2020–21 at the Research Farm of Nidharia, S.M.M. Town Post Graduate College, Ballia (U.P), India, they were assessed for seed yield and yield attribute components for 14 characteristics. The correlation analysis revealed a substantial and positive relationship between biological yield per plant, seeds per siliquae, siliquae per plant, primary branches per plant, length of the main raceme, and 1000 seed weight, leaf area index, harvest index, and biological yield per plant. The results showed a highly substantial positive correlation between seed yield per plant and the number of siliquae per plant and harvest index. At the genotypic level, path coefficient analysis revealed a strong positive and direct effect of harvest index and biological yield per plant towards seed yield in Indian mustard, as well as a high positive and direct influence of 1000 seed weight.
