Correlation and Path-Coefficient Analyses in Cenchrus Ciliaris L.

Abstract

Correlations and path-coefficient botween fodder yield and yield components were estimated in 80 genotypes of Cenchrus ciliaris. Among the characters studied number of tillers. length and breadth of leaf, length and thickness of internode and height of clone were positively correlated with fodder yield. Path-coefficient analysis revealed that number of tillers. length and breadth of leaf and height of clone showed higher positive direct effect on fodder yield. Even though the direct effect of thick- ness of internode was low and positive, its contribution through height of clone and length and breadth of leaf was considerable.
