Abstract

An investigation was carried out in pigeon pea to understand the association among the yield components and their direct and indirect effects on the seed yield. Character association studies indicated that number of pods, secondary branches and primary branches per plant and plant spread showed significantly positive correlation with seed yield at genotypic and phenotypic levels. Path coefficient analysis revealed that number of pods, secondary branches and primary branches per plant were the most important character which can be strategically used to improve yield in Pigeon pea.
