Seed yield per plant in pigeonpea showed significant positive correlation with number of plant height, number of branches, number of clusters and number of seeds per pod. Similarly, path coefficient analysis Indicated the importance of number of pods per plant, which had maximum direct effect on seed yield. However, characters like plant height, number of branches per plant, number of clusters per plant and number of seeds per pod affected seed yield via number of pods per plant. Therefore, selection based on early maturity, medium tall plant height, moderate number of branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of seeds per pod with more number of pods per plant and medium seed size is expected to improve the seed yield in pigeonpea.
