Character association studies in yellow pericarp sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes
Author(s): BV Vara Prasad and V Sridhar
Abstract: Forty yellow pericarp sorghum ICRISAT lines were evaluated in deep black soil under rainfed situation at ARS, Madhira during early rabi 2016. Moderate to high genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation observed for various traits suggested the existence of sufficient amount of genetic variability for the traits studied. Plant height showed positive significant correlation with days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, 100 seed weight and grain yield per plant. Path analysis studies indicated that plant height, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, number of leaves per plant, leaf length and 100 seed weight exhibited positive direct effect coupled with positive correlation with grain yield per plant in the present material.
