Correlation and path analysis in mutant cultures of groundnut

摘要

In 24 genotypes of mutant cultures of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) pod yield per plant was positively and significantly correlated with number of pods per plant, 1O0-sed weight, harvest index, seed yield per plant, oil yield per plant, whereas, itwas negatively associated with shelling percentage. Oil yield per plant was positively associated with number of pods per plant, 1O0-seed weight, harvest index, seed yield per plant, number of primary branches per plant and number of seeds per pod. Theseed yield per plant, an important character, had high direct effect on pod as well as oil yield per plant.
