Abstract
Correlation and path coefficient analysis were done with 53 chickpea genotypes over two seasons to find out association among characters and to assess the direct and indirect contribution of nine characters on seed yield. The studies were conducted during rabi 2000-01 and rabi 2001-02. Correlation studies indicated that seed yield per plant exhibited stable positive association with biological yield per plant, pods per plant, primary branches per plant, plant height and harvest index at genotypic and phenotypic levels in individually as well as combined over seasons. Path analysis revealed high positive and direct influence of biological yield per plant with seed yield per plant followed by harvest index and pods per plant in individual as well as combined over seasons. Pods per plant, primary branches per plant and plant height contributed to seed yield mainly through indirect effect via biological yield. Therefore, selection for high biological yield and harvest index would lead to high seed yield and selection for pods per plant, primary branches per plant and plant height would facilitate for high biological yield.
