This experiment was conducted at SGCARS Jagdalpur (C.G.), to assess correlation and path coefficient for 11 quantitative characters on 60 toria genotypes including one check Indira toria. The Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters considered under study. Correlation coefficient analysis revealed significant positive correlation for the traits silique per plant and seed per siliqua both at phenotypic and genotypic level with seed yield per plant. Path analysis revealed that silique per plant had highest positive direct effect towards seed yield per plant followed by siliqua length, days to maturity, harvest index, primary branches per plant, plant height, seed per siliqua and days to 50% flowering.

An investigation was undertaken to study the correlation and path coefficient analysis of twelve quantitative traits in 30 Indian mustard (<italic>Brassica Juncea</italic> L<italic>.</italic>) germplasm lines. The experimental material was evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications. Correlation study revealed that harvest index and total biological yield per plant exerted high significant positive correlation coefficients with seed yield at both genotypic and phenotypic level. Seed yield is negatively correlated with days to 50 % flowering and days to maturity which promotes early flowering and early maturing genotypes. Path analysis revealed that harvest index showed maximum positive direct effect, followed by total biological yield per plant, days to maturity, siliquae length at the time of maturity and seed yield per plant at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. Based on result it has been concluded that two traits namely harvest index and total biological yield per plant exerted high correlation as well as direct influence on seed yield may be considered for selection and to improve the seed yield of the mustard genotypes.

Chickpea is the second most important pulse crop in the world after dry bean. The aim of this study was to estimate the correlation coefficients and path analysis between seed yield, morphological traits and yield components. Twenty five chickpea genotypes, including advanced lines and commercial varieties, were grown under dryland condition at Brojerd Agricultural Research Station (west of Iran) during two seasons (2012-2013 and 2013-2014). The field experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. Combined analysis of variance revealed that the studied genotypes differed significantly in seed yield, days to flowering, days to maturity, flowering period, canopy height, number of pods per plant, biological yield and harvest index. The correlation coefficients indicated that there were significant and positive correlations between seed yield and number of pods per plant and harvest index in two years. Path analysis indicated that days to flowering, days to maturity, canopy height and width, number of pods per plant and flowering period directly and indirectly affected seed yield. Therefore, this study suggested that chickpea improvement program could be based on these traits, especially number of pods per plant and canopy height, according to positive direct effect on seed yield over two years, as selection criteria.

The present investigation was carried out using thirty two pigeonpea genotypes during kharif 2013-14 to obtain the knowledge of correlation, path coefficient analysis for the yield components and genetic divergence. The range of GCV was observed from 9.81 to 40.88% for the traits under study which provides information regarding the extent of variability present among the genotypes. Seed yield was significantly and positively correlated with number of secondary branches/plant, pods/plant and 100-seed weight. Path coefficient analysis indicated that number of secondary branches exhibited maximum direct effect followed by number of pods/plant and 100 seed weight. The genotypes were grouped into eight different clusters based on Mahalonobis D2 statistics. Clusters II and III exhibited maximum inter cluster distance of 8.80. Days to 50% flowering contributed to maximum genetic divergence followed by seed yield. Genotypes in cluster III recorded highest mean value for days to maturity, number of secondary branches and seed yield.

An experiment was layout at the Horticulture Research Centre, SVPUAT, Meerut During 2018-2020 to estimate correlation coefficients and path coefficient analysis in Table pea using 36 genotypes including eight parents and 28 F1 on nine quantitative characters. Correlation coefficient result showed that seed yield per plant have highly significant and positive correlation with number of pods per plant (0.821, 0. 818), length of first fruiting node (0.587, 0.585), number of seeds per pod (0.547, 0.517), days to 50% flowering (0.467, 0.464), plant height (0.447, 0.447), width of pod (0.387, 0.284), length of pod (0.375, 0.363) and number of first fruiting node (0.353, 0.349). Path coefficient result showed that the highest positive direct effect on seed yield per plant was exhibited by several pods per plant, several seeds per pod and days to 50% flowering at both genotypic and phenotypic level.

Background: Assessment of genetic variability and inter-relationship between the characters can be used in the breeding programme to evolve new varieties with wide genetic diversity to maximize the yield potential in crop improvement programmes. Eighty-four field pea genotypes were evaluated in an augmented block design for thirteen quantitative traits to study variance components, heritability, genetic advance and inter-relationship between the yield and yield contributing traits. Methods: The extent of phenotypic and genotypic variation that exist in a character was calculated by the formula suggested by Burton and de Vane (1953). Heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as per cent of mean for each character was computed using the formula suggested by Hanson et al. (1956) and Johnson et al. (1955), respectively. Correlation coefficient was calculated by method suggested by Searle (1961) and path coefficient analysis done as per method of Wright (1921) and elaborated by Dewey and Lu (1959).Result: Significant differences observed among the genotypes tested for the yield characters indicated the presence of variability. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was observed for the traits viz., plant height, effective pods plant-1, harvest index and seed yield plant-1 were governed by additive gene effects which will aid in effective selection. Correlation coefficient analysis revealed that seed yield plant-1 had highly significant and positive correlation with biological yield plant-1, effective pods plant-1, harvest index, seeds pods-1 and effective nodes plant-1, indicating that these traits are strongly associated with seed yield in field pea. Path coefficient analysis identified biological yield plant-1 followed by harvest index, seed pod-1, effective nodes plant-1, 100-seed weight and day to 50% flowering as highly desirable components with great direct effects on seed yield.

Results of correlation analysis indicated that seed yield in narbon bean (Vicia narbonensis L.) was correlated positively with harvest index, biological yield, weight, number of seed and number of pod per plant and also plant height and number of plant per m2. Path coefficient analyses revealed that harvest index and biological yield had higher positive direct effects on seed yield than other variables. Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that 95.1% of total variation in seed yield could be explained by the variation in harvest index, biological yield and plant height. Results suggest that harvest index and biological yield are primary selection criteria for improving seed yield in narbon bean.
