The efforts were made to evaluate the effect of supplementary feeding in pearlspot, Etroplus suratensis biofilm-based rearing system using four treatments

The present investigation entitled "Correlation and Path Analysis of finger millet for yield and yield contributing traits (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn)" was undertaken during Kharif 2017. The experiment was carried out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications to derive Correlation coefficient and Direct and Indirect effects in 13 different genotypes with 2 checks Nagali Dapoli 1 and Nagali Dapoli safed 2 of finger millet. Association studies revealed that plant height, days 50% flowering, number of tillers per plant, number of fingers per ear, length of finger (cm), test weight (g), straw yield per plant (g) and harvest index (%) shows positive correlation with grain yield per plant (g) at genotypic and phenotypic levels and days to maturity shows positive correlation with grain yield per plant at phenotypic levels only. The characters which emerged as the major component of grain yield per plant (g) in path coefficient analysis was exerted by harvest index (%) followed by straw yield per plant (g), number of fingers per ear, number of tillers per plant, plant height which had highest direct effects on grain yield per plant at genotypic level and phenotypic level.
