Abstract:
"Character Association Studies in Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) For yield and yield contributing Characters" was conducted at Main Garden, Department of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during the year 2016-17 with objectives to study genotypic, phenotypic and environmental correlation for yield and yield contributing characters of tamarind genotypes. The experimental evidences point out that, analysis of variance revealed that highly significant difference among the genotypes for all the traits studied. The mean performance of 22 genotypes showed wide variation. On the basis of yield and yield contributing characters the genotype viz., MGNT7, MGNT5, MGT1/1 and AGT-3 were found promising for future improvement programmer. Hence, these genotypes may be given consideration while formulating selection indices for the improvement of yield and pod qualities of tamarind. Qualitative parameters revealed a wide range of variation for the characters under investigation.
