Abstract:
Simple correlation and path coefficients were worked out in assessing the relative contribution of different yield attributing characters on seed yield of Zinnia elegans cv. Gaint Flowered Mixed. The results of the present investigation envisaged that the number of flowers per plant showed maximum association and highest positive direct effect on seed yield. On the contrary leaf area per plant exhibited maximum negative direct effect.
