Abstract

Studies regarding correlation and path coefficient in 48 local genotypes of mash (Vigna mungo L.) were undertaken to find out important traits contributing towards grain yield. Observations were taken on days to maturity , plant height, branches per plant, pods per plant, pod length, seeds per pod , 100 seed weight . biological yield per plant, harvest index and grain yield per plant. All the characters had positive correlation with grain yield per plant. It was significant with pods per plant and biological yield per plant. Path analysis revealed that branches per plant, pod length, harvest index and biological yield per plant had positive direct effects on grain yoeld . Biological yield and harvest index may be exploited in selecting high yielding cultivars in mash.
