Abstract

The present studies were conducted in the field of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, during the crop season 2008-2009. It was concluded from correlation studies that biomass per plant, number of pods per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of seeds per pod and 100-seed weight were positive and significant at genotypic level but positive and highly significant at phenotypic level which indicated that selection for high yielding genotypes can be made on the basis of these traits
