Abstract

Correlation and path coefficient are important tools for getting information regarding relationship among traits for use in selection. In the present study, these parameters has been studied in 30 tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) genotypes planted in winter season (2001–2002) in a randomized block design. Estimates of genotypic correlation revealed positive and significant association among fruit yield per plant, PLW (at 7th day/500 gm).
