ABSTRACT
An investigation was done on correlation and heritability analysis for 09 characters on 20 advance bread wheat cultivars which were grown in randomized complete block design with three replications during rabi, 2012-13. The trait grain yield per plant made positive and significant association with productive tillers per plant, spike length, spikelets per spike, grains per spike, seed index, total biomass and harvest index. Indicating a thorough selection for these traits will automatically improve seed yield in wheat because the five yield contributing traits are associated among themselves, selection in one of the traits will wholly result in the improvement of the other traits. Significant and negative correlation was revealed by plant height with productive tillers per plant, spike length, spikelets per spike and seed index, suggesting that dwarf wheat genotypes are by and large good yielders. High heritability estimates were observed for seed index, total biomass, grains per spike and plant height, indicating that these traits were predominantly controlled by additive gene effects and direct selection may be effective for these traits.
