Twenty-eight pigeonpea experimental hybrids of diverse origin and late maturity group obtained from Akola, Kanpur, Narendra Deo, Rajnendra Agricultural University and Banaras Hindu University along with two checks were evaluated for character association and path analysis. Correlation studies indicated that phenotypically yield was positively and significantly correlated with number of pods per plant (0.809), dry matter at maturity (0.755) and number of secondary branches (0.623) but at genotypic level the association was highest for dry matter at maturity (0.961). Path coefficient analysis showed that out of six independent characters having positive direct effect on seed yield, maximum contribution was of number of pods per plant (0.819) followed by dry matter at maturity (0.749) and 100-seed weight (0.478)
