Abstract:
An experiment was carried out to estimate the character Association
and path analysis for thirteen quantitative characters in 60 genotypes of Black gram (
Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) including four standards checks during kharif 2017. Association estimates revealed that seed yield per plant showed positive and significant correlation with cluster per plant, number of pod per cluster, number of pods per plant, 100-seed weight, and biological yield per plant and harvest index at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. Correlation for seed yield per plant was divided into direct and indirect effects of different characters. Highest positive direct effect on seed yield per plant was exhibited by cluster per plant (11.48) followed harvest index (1.23). While, high indirect effect on seed yields per plant was exhibited positive and negative through other character.
