Abstract:
The experiment was conducted for study of correlation and path analysis at Research Farm of Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding, ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during rabi, 2018 with 26 yellow mustard genotypes. The character association of the yield contributing traits, seed yield per plant (g) exhibited positive significant correlation with primary branches per plant, Silique on main raceme, length of main raceme, number of seed per silique and oil content (%). The selection based on these characters may be useful for yield improvement. The characters primary branches per plant, days to maturity, oil content (%), number of seeds per silique and length of main raceme positive direct effect was exhibited on seed yield per plant (g). The primary branches per plant, oil content (%), number of seed per silique, and length of main raceme have both positive significant and positive direct effect on seed yield per plant (g), that’s reason selection based on these characters can improve yield and yield contributing traits.
