Abstract

Sixteen long duration pigeonpea hybrids were evaluated for association between yield and yield attributes at genotypic and phenotypic level. Positive and significant correlations were observed for yield with number of primary and secondary branches, pods and seed yield plant and seeds pod at genotypic level in Kharif crop, whereas in pre-rabi crop, positive correlations were observed for seed yield plot, with seed yield plant at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. The crop season, i.e., kharif and pre-rabi showed positive and significant association between plant height at initial flowering, maturity and harvest index.
