Abstract


The present study was made on nineteen strains of Brinjal to assess the genetic variability, degree of association and path-co-efficient analysis for some quantitatively inherited yield components High genotypic co-efficient of variation and heritability values were recorded for number of fruits/plant, length/girth ratio of the fruit and weight of the fruit, Yield was positively correlated with number of fruits/plant, height of the plant and number or branches both at phenotypic and genotypic level and with length/ girth radio of the fruit only at genotypic level. Path analysis using genotypic correlation showed that number of fruits, number of branches and length/girth ratio had positive direct effect on yield. But as number of branches had both low GCV as well as low heritability values, the other two characters were considered to be an important yield components in regard to selection of superior genotypes.
