Abstract

The association analysis of ten cultivars of carrot with diverse origin showed significan associations between yield and length and weight of top and length and diameter of root. The length of root had the highest positive correlation with yield followed by diameter of root. Patt analysis revealed that the diameter of root had exerted the highest direct effect. Length and weight of top and length of root exhibited high indirect effects through diameter of root in improving the yield of roots. Thus, the characters like length and diameter of root and length and weight of top will serve as reliable indices in selection of genotypes for high yield ir carrot.
