Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Studies on genetic variability, character
association, path coefficient, D2 analysis for yield and yield related traits in linseed
(Linum usitatissimum L.)” was conducted at Genetics and Plant Breeding Research
Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj,
Faizabad (U.P.) during Rabi 2011-12. The experimental material constituted 160
genotypes excluding three check varieties viz. T-397, Mukta and Hira. The
experiment was laid out in Augmented Block Design. The experimental field was
divided in eight blocks of 23 plots. The observations were recorded on twelve
quantitative characters namely days to 50% flowering, plant height (cm), days to
maturity, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per
plant, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, biological yield per
plant (g), seed yield per plant (g), harvest index (%),test weight (g) and oil content
(%). The data recorded on these characters was utilized for estimation of mean,
range, variance, correlations, path coefficients and genetic divergence.
