Abstract:
The present study intended to assess the correlation among various traits in wheat genotypes, including days to heading, grain filling duration, days to maturity, plant height, number of tillers per plant, flag leaf area, number of grains per spike, peduncle length, spike length, 1000-grain weight, biological yield per plant, and grain yield per plant. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications during rabi 2016-17. The analysis of correlation revealed that at phenotypic level, the grain yield per plant was positively and significantly correlated with tillers per plant, spike length, number of grains per spike, test weight and biological yield per plant in both the environments. There was a strong association of grain yield per plant with number of tillers per plant, spike length, number of grains per spike, 1000-grain weight and biological yield per plant in heat stress environment. hence these characters should be considered for selection in breeding for heat stress environment.
