Abstract: Genotypic correlation and path coefficient analysis were used to determine the effect of various traits as components of biomass yield in thirty dhaincha (Sesbania cannabina L.) genotypes. The thirty dhaincha genotypes were evaluated at research farm of department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Navsari Agriculture University, Navsari during kharif-2017. Randomized complete block design with three replicates was used for laying out the field experiments. Highly significant positive genotypic correlations were detected for biomass yield with plant height, number of internodes, number of branches, leaf length, and leaflets per leaf and dry weight of plant. Path analysis revealed that plant height, leaflets per leaf and dry weight of plant had the highest positive direct effect on biomass yield. These results indicate that plant height, leaflets per leaf, stem diameter and dry weight of plant can be used as selection criteria for the improvement of dhaincha biomass yield.
