Correlation and path analysis studies for productivity and grain quality traits in rabi sorghum (Sorghum biocolar (L.) Moench)
Author(s): Ashwini Karadi and ST Kajjidoni
Abstract: Rabi sorghum is an fourth most important food crop because of its excellent grain quality, nutritional status, low glycemic index and gluten-free along with higher yield. Among selected mini core accessions, seed yield per plot exhibited highly significant positive association with fodder yield, 100 seed weight, seed volume and seed size at both phenotypic and genotypic level. Whereas in promising varieties, association between seed yield per plot, ear head width, 100 seed weight and bulk density was significantly positive at both levels. Among selected mini core accessions, path analysis showed that highly significant positive direct effect through ear head length, fodder yield, seed size and seed amylose on seed yield per plot. In case of selected promising varieties, high positive direct effect of plant height and ear head length seed yield per plant, indicating true relationship between these characters with grain yield per plant and direct selection for these traits will be rewarding for improvement of grain yield per plant.
