Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Studies on genetic divergence, character association, path coefficient and genetic variability in newly bred Indian mustard [Brassica juncea L. Czern and Coss.]” was conducted at Genetics & Plant Breeding Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.) during rabi 2014-15. The experimental material constituted 35 germplasm including two check varieties viz. Kranti and NDYR-8.The observations were recorded on eleven different characters namely days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), primary branches per plant, secondary branches per plant, length of main raceme (cm), siliquae on main raceme, number of seeds per siliqua, seed yield per plant (g), 1000-seed weight (g), oil content (%). The data recorded on these characters were utilized for estimation of mean, range, variance, correlations, path coefficient and genetic divergence. The mean squares due to treatments were highly significant for all the characters under study. The mean squares due to replication were non-significant for all the characters.
