Character Association and Causal Effect Analysis for Yield and Yield Components among Early Maturing Genotypes of Soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill)

Association Analysis over Different Environments in Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]

“…Concomitant results were reported by Iqbal et al, (2003), Mukesh and Singh (2009), Arshad et al, (2014) and Ivan et al, (2017). Hundred seed weight showed moderate direct effect on the single plant yield.…”

“…Despite of this, the present study revealed that hundred seed weight showed negative and non-significant correlation with the yield. It was supported by Ramteke et al, (2010), Arshad et al, (2014) and Kumar et al, (2015). The reason for this correlation was well explained by Bizeti et al, (2004) that hundred seed weight was not important in improving the yield but was essential in maintaining the soybean yield when number of pods per plant and number of seeds per pod changed.…”

Heritability, Genetic Advance and Path Coefficient Analysis for Grain Yield and its Component Characters in Soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill)

“…Number of primary branches per plant had a highly significant genotypic correlation with grain yield but had low phenotypic correlation. The significant positive correlation of primary branches per plant with yield per plant has been reported by Arshad [10] and that of number of pods per plant and number of seeds per pod by Baraskar [11]. Physio-morphological trait, i.e.…”

Increasing Grain Size Improves Grain Yield of Acid-Adaptive Soybean Lines in Optimal Soil Condition

“…In optimal soil type, some researcher reported significant relationship between grain yield and number of pods plantG 1 (Arshad et al, 2014;Egli, 2013;Koladiya et al, 2012;Jain, 2014;Teodoro et al, 2015) and grain size (Athoni and Basavaraja, 2012;El-Badawy and Mehasen, 2012;Malik et al, 2011). In Vertisols, the optimal soil type, significant correlation between grain yield with grain size was also found in this study; but no correlation were found between number of filled pods plantG 1 and grain size with grain yield in Ultisols (Table 4).…”
