Abstract
One hundred twenty six recombinant inbred lines (RILs) along with six checks were evaluated for analysis of correlation and path coefficients for ten characters in chickpea. Seed yield had a high positive correlation with pods per plant (0.779), plant height (0.637), number of branches (0.538), 100 seed weight (0.34), reproductive period (0.342) and days to maturity0.327. However, path coefficient analysis revealed that number of pods per plant has highest direct effect (0.766) on seed yield. The characters number of pods per plant, 100 seed weight, plant height and reproductive period should be taken into consideration in breeding of high yielding gram varieties.
