Abstract
An experiment was conducted to assess genetic variability, correlation, path
coefficient analysis, selection indices and genetic divergence for grain yield and its
attributes with a set of 48 genotypes of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was
conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications during rabi
2020-21 at the Regional Research station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The
characters studied were days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm),
effective tillers per plant, length of main spike (cm), peduncle length of main spike
(cm), spikelets per main spike, grains per main spike, 1000 grain weight (g), grain
weight per main spike (g), grain yield per plant (g), biological yield per plant (g),
harvest index (%), flag leaf area (cm2
), protein content (%), sedimentation value (ml)
and hardness index.
