Correlation and path analysis in brinjal

摘要

The correlation studies revealed that fruit yield per plant was positively correlated with number of fruits per plant, length and weight of fruit, while keeping quality index showed significant negative association with fruit yield, weight, length andgirth of fruit. The path analysis suggested that days to flower had maximum direct and indirect effect on fruit yield. However, the indirect contribution of number of fruits per plant, length, weight and girth of fruit were appreciable to effect fruit yield in brinjal.
