Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the relationship among yield and some yield components using correlation and path coefficient analysis. The experiment was carried out in Yüzüncü Yil University Experimental Field between 2000 and 2002. In this study, 14 chickpea cultivars were used. The experiment was designed in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Positive and significant relationships were found among seed yield and plant height, number of branches, number of pods per plant, biological yield, harvest index and number of seeds per plant. Negative and non-significant relationship was determined between seed yield and 1000-seed weight. According to path coefficient analysis, there were strong direct effects of the biological yield, harvest index and number of seeds per plant on the seed yield, p.c : 0.783 and p.c: 0.441, respectively.
