Assessment of correlation and path analysis in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) germplasms

Abstract

The present experiment was carried out “Assessment of correlation and path analysis in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) germplasms” during Rabi season of the year 2014-2015 at Main Experiment Station of Department of Vegetable Science (Vegetable Research Farm) at Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad (Ayodhya) Uttar Pradesh, India. Seeds yield per plant showed that positive and highly significant correaltion association with pods per plant followed by length of pod whereas it showed highly negative correlation significant seeds per pod followed by 1000-seed weight at genotypic and 1000-seed weight followed by days to 50% flowering at phenotypic correlation coefficient. Path analysis carried out at genotypic as well as phenotypic level revealed that was exerted by pods per plant followed by length of pod had positive direct effect on seed yield per plant, this indicates that selection for these traits will be useful.
