Genetic Variability, Correlation and Path coefficient Analysis for Yield and Yield Attributing Traits in Advanced Breeding Lines (ABLs) of Green Gram [Vigna radiata (L.)Wilczek] in F6 Generation

Path Coefficient Analysis to Evaluate Seed Yield in Green Gram [Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek]: A Comprehensive Study

“…However, negative direct effect on seed yield per plant were contributed through the number of clusters per plant and plant height at phenotypic level, indicating that the selection for these traits may have an undesirable impact on seed yield. Similar outcome was also reported by Abhisheka and Mogali [14]. and Mohammed et al [8].…”

GENETIC VARIABILITY AND CORRELATION IN GREEN GRAM [Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek]

“…For seed production per plant (20.51%), a significant phenotypic coefficient of variation was recorded. Identical results were also reported by Yadav et al (2017), Abbas et al (2018) and Abhisheka and Mogali (2020). Moderate value for GCV and PCV was observed for plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and 100-seeds weight.…”

“…These characters may have contributed to preponderance of additive gene action and selection pressure could profitably be applied on these characters for their rationale improvement. The same outcome is reported by Muthuswamy et al (2019) and Abhisheka and Mogali (2020).…”

“…The moderate GCV and PCV for plant height, 100-seeds weight, number of pods per cluster, number of seeds per pod was reported by Asari et al (2019). Moderate GCV and PCV for plant height, number of branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster and 100-seeds weight were in agreement of Abhisheka and Mogali (2020). While Tabasum et al (2010) reported moderate GCV and PCV for number of pods per plant and moderated GCV for grain yield per plant.…”

“…Grain yield per plant had highly significant and positive correlation with number of primary branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and 100seeds weight at both genotypic and phenotypic levels indicating any improvement in these traits with positive correlation with grain yield will results in a substantial increment of grain yield. Such result also reported by Prasanna et al (2013) for number of primary branches per plant, number of clusters per plant and number of pods per plant; Baisakh et al (2016) for number of clusters per plant, number of pods per plant and number of seeds per pod; Mohammed et al (2020) for number of branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of seeds per pod and number of pods per plant; Sarkar et al (2014) for number of seeds per pod and 100-seeds weight at genotypic level; Garg et al (2017) for number of primary branches per plant, number of pods per plant and number of seeds per pod at phenotypic level; Abhisheka and Mogali (2020) and Dhunde et al (2021b) for number of primary branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and 100seeds weight at phenotypic level. Grain yield per plant had significant and positive correlation with length of pod at both genotypic and phenotypic level.…”
