Abstract

In present investigation, path coefficient analysis were studied in a set of 50 genotypes of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Miller) grown at Agronomy Instructional farm, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University. The experiment was conducted during Rabi 2011–2012 in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Path coefficient analysis revealed the highest positive direct effect of number of umbellates per main umbel followed by number of branches per plant, days to 50% flowering, number of umbels per plant and test weight.
