Character association and path analysis under dryland condition in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.)

摘要

Indian mustard (Brassicajuncea L.) is the major oilseed crop of India. The successful cultivation of Indian mustard is hampered in dry land areas mainly due to the lack of suitable cultivars which can withstand long dry spells. For development of drought tolerant varieties availability of divergent form of drought tolerant germplasm is imperative. The present study was therefore, planned to study genetic variability, character association and path analysis in diverse genotypes of Indian mustard to form coherent breeding programme.
