Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to analyze the correlation between yield parameters and their direct and indirect effects on the pod yield in winged bean using thirty genotypes at the Instructional-Cum-Research Farm of Horticulture Section, Rajarshee Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj College of Horticulture, Kolhapur during the Kharif season 2021-22. The correlation coefficients indicated that there were highly significant and positive correlations between 10 pods weight and number of primary branches per plant and pod yield per plant. At genotypic level, high positive direct effect towards pod yield per vine was exerted by number of pods per vine followed by 10 pods weight, days to fifty percent flowering, number of primary branches per plant and vine length. Therefore, this study suggested that winged bean improvement program could be based on these traits, especially number of pods per plant and 10 pods weight.
