CORRELATIONS AND PATH COEFFICIENT ANALYSIS IN FENUGREEK

Abstract

Fifty diverge genotypes of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) revealed highly significant differences for morphological characters. Phenotypic and genotypic correlation showed similar trend but genotypic correlations were of higher magnitude than phenotypic. Plant height, branches per plant, pods per plant, 100-grain weight and protein content showed significant positive correlation with grain yield per plant. Path analysis revealed that plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and test weight are of utmost importance for contributing yield per plant in fenugreek.
