CORRELATION COEFFICIENT ANALYSIS IN F5 AND F6 PROGENIES OF MUSKMELON (Cucumis melo L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 59
Abstract
An experiment were carried out at the Instructional cum Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar (Maharashtra) during the kharif 2014 and summer 2015. To study the relationships among 12 quantitative traits pertaining to growth, earliness, and yield characters and to help breeders to determine the selection criteria for breeding programmes for fruit yield improvement of three progenies of IVMM-3 x Punjab Sunheri (C: 4 x 7) with two replication of F5 and F6 generation of Muskmelon. Fruit yield had significant and positive correlation both at phenotypic and genotypic level was observed between fruit yield per vine and the yield contributing characters such as vine length, number of primary branches per vine, number of female flowers per vine, number of fruits per vine, average weight of fruit, average length of fruit, average diameter of fruit and average weight of pulp per fruit. While the characters like days required for first female flower appearance, node at which first female flower appeared and days required for first harvest of fruit were significantly and negatively correlated with average yield per vine, which were helpful relationships. Most of these characters were also found to be positively associated among themselves
