Correlation and path coefficient analysis of yield and yield components in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)

Correlation and path analysis of eighteen genotypes of fenugreek was done for days to 50% flowering, plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, pod length (cm), number of seeds per pod, test weight (g), days to maturity and seed yield per plot. Yield improvement could be achieved by selection of number of branches per plant and days to maturity. Path coefficient analysis indicated that number of branches per plant, days to 50% flowering, pod length and days to maturity exhibited positive direct effect on seed yield.
