Abstract


Character association analysis in fifty genetically diverse genotypes of blackgram revealed significant positive association of biological yield per plant, pods per plant, clusters per plant, branches per plant, plant height, harvest index and days to maturity with grain yield in decreasing order of their magnitude. Further, it was found that biological yield per plant, harvest index and pods per plant showed high direct effects on grain yield where as high indirect positive effects were shown by other traits through biological yield per plant, harvest index and pods per plant. Hence, these characters appeared to be important for evolving superior genotypes in blackgram.
