Study of correlation and path coefficient among the characters of Indian mustard ((Brassica juncea L. Czern and Coss.) genotypes

The present investigation was conducted with aim to know the magnitude of association of growth, yield and quality traits of mustard. Correlation study indicated that Seed yield per plant exhibited positive and significant correlation with number of seeds per siliqua, biological yield per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, 1000 seed weight and number of primary branches per plant at genotypic and phenotypic level. The phenotypic and genotypic path coefficient exhibited high positive direct contribution of biological yield per plant, harvest index, 1000 seed weight and length of main raceme towards seed yield per plant.
