ASSOCIATION OF YIELD COMPONENTS IN FORAGE MAIZE (Zea mays L.) INBREDS

Abstract

Correlation co-efficient and path co-efficient analysis were computed for yield components of Forage maize. The results revealed that the association of plant height, stem girth, leaf breadth and leaf number with fodder yield was high and positive. path co-efficient analysis indicated that plant height had the maximum direct effect followed by leaf breadth and stem girth. Hence, these three characters should be given importance while breeding for high forage production in maize.
