 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was conducted at Research Farm of Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Faizabad (U.P.) during rabi, 2013-14 on 105 genotypes with 5 checks varieties in Augmented Block Design to study Correlation and Path coefficient analysis for yield attributes in Chickpea on 11 quantitative traits. Results revealed that the seed yield plant-1 showed highly significant and positive correlation with plant height, pods plant-1 , seeds pod-1 , biological yield plant-1, harvest index, and 100 seed weight and positive but non-significant correlations with remaining characters. The highest positive direct effect on seed yield plant was exerted by harvest index followed by biological yield per plant and 100 seed weight. The inter-relationship among the characters identified above may be utilized in the breeding programme to exploit the yield potential and to develop high yielding varieties with target oriented research.

Key words:Chickpea, Correlation, Path analysis, Yield plant-1and Harvest index.
