Abstract:
The present experiment was conducted at College Farm, College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Bharuch Campus during Kharif 2021. The Experimental materials consist of 19 genotypes of Mungbean representing different geographical origins. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications for various traits to assess the correlation and path analysis in Mungbean. Seed yield per plant was found to be highly significant and positively correlated with pods per cluster, pods per plant and seeds per pod at both genotypic and phenotypic levels indicating that these attributes were mainly influencing the seed yield in Mungbean. A high positive direct effect on seed yield per plant was recorded for pod length followed by branches per plant, pods per plant, seeds per pod, days to maturity and days to 50% flowering. Negative direct effects on seed yield per plant were unveiled by 100 seed weight, plant height, protein content and pods per cluster.
