ABSTRACT
An experiment to know the nature and magnitude of association among 11 characters and their contribution towards seed yield was carried with sixty genotypes of greengram during kharif – 2012. The seed yield per plant showed positive and significant with plant height, numbers of pods per cluster and number of seeds per pod at genotypic and phonotypical level. Path coefficient analysis revealed that maximum direct positive effects exerted by number of pods per cluster, number of seeds per pod, pod length, plant height and 100-seed weight towards seed yield per plant. Based on correlation and path analysis, plant height, numbers of pods per cluster, number of seeds per pod, pod length and 100-seed weight were identified as the most important components of seed yield. It was noticeable from the path analysis that maximum direct positive effects were exerted by number of pods per cluster, number of seeds per pod, pod length, plant height and 100-seed weight towards seed yield per plant. This suggested that prominence should be given to these traits in selection programme for improvement of seed yield in green gram.
