CHARACTER ASSOCIATION AND PATH COEFFICIENTS ANALYSIS FOR VARIOUS YIELD ATTRIBUTES OF BRINJAL (Solanum melongena L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 7
Abstract
A field experiment including forty genotypes was conducted at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during autumn winter season 2015-16. The observations were recorded on qualitative and qualitative traits. The genotypic path coefficient revealed that highest positive direct effect (0.866**) on fruit yield followed by number of flower per cluster (0.355**) and fruit yield per plant (0.610*), whereas length of peduncle showed significant and negative association with number of branches per plant (-0.186*). Simultaneously, significant positive genotypic correlation was observed for number of branches per plant (0.610**), number of fruits per plant (0.565**), number of flowers per cluster (0.394**) and plant height (0.213*) with fruit yield per plant. Path analysis showed that number of branches and fruits per plant had high direct effect and number of flowers per cluster had indirect effect via., number of branches per plant with fruit yield per plant, indicating that these traits should be given importance for selection in present material.
