Abstract:
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereals grown in different environments due to its versatile nature over the world and plays a key role in the food and nutritional security of India. The objective of this study was to establish the inter-relationship effect of various wheat components on yield. During Rabi 2019-2020 100 treatment parental (10 parents, 45 F₁s and F₂s) followed by diallel mating design were studied for correlation analysis of some quantitative and quality traits in wheat. The experiment was carried out at Crop Research Farm, Nawabganj of C.S.A. University of Agriculture and Technology Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh 208002 (INDIA). Generally, the estimates of genotypic correlation coefficients were higher than the corresponding phenotypic correlation coefficients for all the character. Grain yield per plant exhibited positive and highly significant relationship with number of productive tiller per plant, spike length, number of spikelets per spike, 1000 grain weight and harvest index at phenotypic levels. While plant height, biological yield per plant and lysine content observed positive and significant correlation with grain yield per plant.
