Abstract

The correlation coefficient (r) of 15 growth parameters was estimated using 11 clones of Bbael (Aegle marmelos Correa). The correlation coefficient indicated that there was positive and significant correlation amongst tree height and tree volume, tree spread and trunk diameter, cross trunk sectional area and tree volume; tree volume and leaf area, total chlorophyll, total mineral content and photosynthetic efficiency; total chlorophyll and total mineral content and photosynthetic efficiency; leaf nitrogen and magnesium; total mineral content and photosyn-thetic efficiency, while there was a negative and significant correlation of tree spread, trunk diameter and cross trunk sectional area with yield efficiency.
