Studies on Genetic Variability in Ragi-II. Phenotypic, Genotypic and Environmental Correlations between Important Characters and their Implications in Selection

Abstract

Several plant breeders have attempted to assess the relationship of different plant characters to yield in different crops and the correlations will fall under the category of environmental correlations. But such information in fingermillet ragi (Eleusine coracana) is very meagre. There is no information on phenotypic, genotypic and environmental correlations in ragi In this paper an attempt has been made to study these three types of correlations in some important quantitative characters contributing to yield and their importance in selection work in plant breeding.
