CHARACTER ASSOCIATION AND PATH ANALYSIS IN SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolor)

Abstract

                                Sixty sorghum hybrids along with sixteen parents were studied in summer for genotypic correlation and path analyses. Grain yield exhibited a strong positive association with seedling vigour and 100 grain weight but a weak positive association with panicle length at genotypic level. The path analysis revealed that maximum direct effect on grain yield was exerted by panicle length followed by seedling vigour, 100 grain weight, number of leaves per plant and L/B ratio.

Key words : Sorghum, Correlation, Path analysis
