Correlation Studies for Growth, Yield and Quality Traits in French Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

摘要

An experiment of correlation studies in French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) for twenty one characters were studied in 36 genotypes collected from IIHR, Hesaraghatta, conducted during rati season of the year 2015-16 to know the relative magnitude of association of various characters with yield. Total yield per plant was found to be positively and significantly (p=0.01) associated with plant height at 25 DAS and 50 DAS, number of primary branches at 50 DAS plant spread (N-S) (E-W) at 25 DAS and 50, podlength, pod flesh thickness, number of seeds perpod, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, weight of ten pods, dry matter content of pods and number of root nodules per plant, whereas days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, days to first pod maturity and pod width showed negative and significant association both at genotypic and phenotypic level.
