Inter-relationship analysis for yield and yield attributing traits in mungbean (Vignaradiata (L.) wilczek)

Abstract

The objective of this test is to establish the nature of relation between seed yield and other yield components by partitioning the correlation co-efficient between yield and its component by using simple correlation analysis. The study was conducted with 19 parents and their 60 crosses (F1) for thirteen component characters including seed yield. The correlation studies of these crosses showed that seed yield per plant showed positive and significant correlation with biological yield per plant, pods per plant, seeds per pod, clusters peer plant, pods per clusters, primary branches per plant, harvest index, 100-seed weight and plant height so they emerged as most important association for seed yield improvement in mungbean during breeding programme.
