Correlations and path-coefficient analyses between yield and yieu components wore done in 23 lines of fodder sorghum. Among the characters studied number of leaves, length and breadth of leaf and thickness of stem were positively correlated with green fod- der yield. Path-coefficient analysis revealed that leaf length and breadth showed high positive direct effect on green fodder yield. Eventhough the direct effect of number of leaves and stem thickness was low and negative on yield, their contribution through loaf length and breadth was considerable. It is suggested that by increasing leaf number and size in existing fodder varieties, the fodder yield can be enhancad significantly.
