CORRELATION AND PATH ANALYSIS IN FODDER CHARACTERS OF LABLAB HYBRIDS

Abstract

Six genotypes of lablab (Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet) along with their 30 hybrids obtained through diallel analysis were utilised for the estimation of genotypic correlations and path analysis for green fodder yield and its 11 yield contributing traits. The path coefficient analysis revealed highest direct effect of dry weight of leaf on green fodder yield. The quality traits viz., crude protein and phosphorus content showed negative direct effect on green fodder yield.

Keywords: Fodder Lablab, Correlation, Path Analysis
