Abstract
Gentie variability. path and correlation coefficient were examined in a set of forty-seven genotypes of Indian mustard (Brassiea ,iuneea (L) czern and coss) grown in randomized block design with three replications at college farm, Gujarat agriculture university, Navsari during rabi 1992. The studied range The Analysis of Variance for elevan characters revealed significant varietal differences. of variations were apparent for all the A characters. genotypic coefficient of variation were high for seed plant, weight. seed yield per plant. number of number of secondary branches. wide 1000- siliquae per High heritability was ,II also observed height, plant High genetic coefficient of variation along heritability observed of except number of primary and secondary branches and days to maturity. high for most of character studied for seed yield per plant, siliquae plant. and high expected genetic per plant. number of with advance were lOOO-seed weight, number branches per effective for Correlation analysis revealed that seed yield per Thus secondary phenotypic selection would be genetic improvement in these traits. plant was number per positively and significantly correlated of secondary branches per plant , number of plant, number of seeds per siliquae, 1000 with siliquae seed weight positive direct and length of siliquae. Path analysis indicated a high effect of 1000 seed weight , number of secondary branches per plant, plant number of seeds per siliquae, days to height siliquae seed • with yield. It was found maturity that number per plant, number of secondary branches weight were the most important yield and of 1000 contributing characters and hence more emphasis should be given to traits and tor improvement through selection in seed these yield Indian mustard.
