Abstract

Path-coefficient analysis of seed yield arid its attributes in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) from the data on 44 genotypes representing wide agroclimatic regions of India revealed that in S61ectlon programmes, maximum weightage should be given to harvest index, biological yield and days to 5096 flowering since their direct influence on seed yield was maximum, while their indirect influence via most of the other component characters was negligible.
