abstract
The character association study was carried out during Rabi 2021-22 in the College of Agriculture and Research Station Chhuikhadan, IGKV Raipur among yield and yield components. The green pod yield showed positive and significant correlation with germination percentage, plant height, number of nodes/plant, number of flowers/plant, number of flower clusters/plant, number of pods/cluster, seed diameter, fresh 100 seed weight, fresh pod weight/plant, days to 50% flowering, harvest index and shelling percentage at genotypic and phenotypic level, whereas green pod yield showed significant negative association with pod length and number of seeds/pod at genotypic and phenotypic level. In path coefficient analysis revealed that the characters germination percentage, number of nodes/plant, number of flowers/plant, number of flowers cluster/plant, number of pods/cluster, number of seeds/pod, fresh 100 seed weight (gm), fresh pod weight/plant (gm) and 50% flowering (days) exhibited maximum positive direct effect on fresh pods yield and negative direct effect was followed by plant height (cm), number of flowers/cluster, pod length (cm), number of pods/plant, seed diameter (mm), dry 100 seed weight (gm), 1st flowering (days), stover weight (gm), harvest index (%) and shelling percentage.
