Genetic variability, path coefficient and genetic divergence Studies on genetic variability, character association,path coefficient and genetic divergence in yellow mustard

Studies on genetic variability, character association,path coefficient and genetic divergence in yellow mustard Under sodic soil. was conducted at Genetics & Plant Breeding Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technnology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during rabi 2017-18. The experimental material constituted 24 germplasm including two check varieties viz. Jagriti and NDYS-2. The observations were recorded on nine different characters viz., days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of Primary branches per plant, length of main raceme (cm), siliquae on main raceme, number of seeds per siliqua, oil content (%) and seed yield per plant (g). The data recorded on these characters were utilized for estimation of mean, range, variance, correlations, path coefficient and genetic divergence. The mean squares due to treatments were highly significant for all the characters under study. The mean squares due to replication were non- significant for all the characte
