Abstract


To assess the associations between green fodder yield and its components and to trace out the direct and indirect effects of characters on green fodder yield, correlation studies and path analysis were conducted in 59 genotypes of fodder cowpea. Correlation studies revealed that green fodder yield was significant and positively associated with leaf area index, specific leaf weight, number of branches, dry matter yield, leaf stem ratio and crude protein content. The path analysis revealed the maximum direct effects of dry matter yield and leaf area index on green fodder yield.
