Abstract

                                Correlation coefficients and path coefficients analysis were computed for yield com- ponents in 50 varieties of common wheat. The results indicated significant positive asso- ciation of effective tillers/plant and spike length with grain yield/plant. Path coefficient analysis revealed that the number of effective tillers/plant and number of grains/spike were the main yield contributing components in wheat, whereas plant height and number of spiketets/spike contributed less to the grain yield. The results are thus, indicative that an improvement in yield potential may be brought about by making selection on the number of effective tillers/plant and number of grains/spike.
