Abstract:
A study was conducted to evaluate correlation and path analysis of 16 yield and quality traits in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern and Coss.). Ten diverse genotype and there crosses was evaluated in half diallel fashion during Rabi 2020-21 in a randomized block design with three replications. At phenotypic and genotypic level, seed yield per plant exhibit significant and positive correlation with 1000-seed weight (F₁) and harvest index (F₂). High direct positive impact on seed yield per plant at genotypic and phenotypic level was exhibited by no. of primary branches per plant (F₁) and protein content (F₂) respectively, while harvest index showed direct impact on seed yield at genotypic and phenotypic level in F₂’s generations. Hence, these characters should be given more weightage in selection programme of high yielding genotypes.
