To assess the extent of path coefficient via direct and indirect effects of yield contributing trait in Tuberose

Abstract

In the present investigation, at the Horticultural Research Centre, Department of Horticulture, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut (UP), during the year of 2015-2016 on “To assess the extent of path coefficient via direct and indirect effects of yield contributing trait”. All twenty-two genotypes were grown in randomized block design with 3 replications with row to row and plant to plant spacing of 30 cm and 20 cm, respectively during 2015-16. Observations were recorded on various characters viz; days taken to sprouting, plant height, number of leaves per plant, length of longest leaf, width of longest leaf, number of sprouts per bulbs, days required for visibility of first spike, days taken to opening of first flower, number of florets per spike, diameter of flower, number of spike per bulb, diameter of spike, length of spike, length of rachis, longevity of spike, vase life, number of bulbs per plant, number of bulblets per plant, yield of bulb per plant, diameter of bulb, yield of bulb and bulblets per plant, yield of bulb.
