Abstract
Correlation and path-coefficient analysis in Virginia tobacco, variety Delcrest" showed that length of leaf made maximum contribution to cured-leaf yield, while the breadth of leaf had negative effect. Though plant height showed a positive correlation with yield, its direct effect was negative, indicating that, other fectors remaining constant, an increase in plant-height would only reduce yield.
