Abstract:
The present research experiment was carried out during Kharif season 2021 and consisted of forty genotypes of vegetable cowpea obtained from different places with two check varieties Pusa Komal and Kashi Kanchan. to find out correlation, path coefficient analysis for 15 characters. These forty genotypes of vegetable cowpea were sown in Randomized Block Design & replicated thrice at Vegetable Research Centre, at GBPUA&T Pantnagar. High positive significant correlation for green pod yield per hectare (q) reported by pod length (cm), 100 seed weight (g), no of pods per plot, no. of pods/plant, green pod weight, green pod yield/plant and green pod yield/plot. Path coefficient analysis showed positive direct effect on green pod yield per hectare (q) was exhibited by green pod yield/plot, Days taken for 50% flowering, 100 seed weight. Hence, the characters showing high positive relation with green pod yield/plant can be identified & utilized for improvement of existing germplasm of vegetable cowpea.
