Abstract:
Correlation between seed yield and yield attribute component traits in forty-eight genotypes of pigeonpea revealed that seed yield per plant was found highly significant and positively correlated with the number of pods per plant and number of primary branches per plant at genotypic and phenotypic levels. The genotypic path analysis showed that there was a high and positive direct effect of days to 50% flowering followed by 100 seed weight, number of pods per plant and number of seeds per pod on seed yield per plant. This revealed that for the improvement of seed yield through selection programme, more emphasis should be given to these traits. The phenotypic path analysis indicated that high and positive direct effect of number of pods per plant and 100-seeds weight on seed yield per plant.
