ABSTRACT
Character association and path analysis in twenty four genetically diverse genotypes of wild melon was studied for 17 important characters. The phenotypic and genotypic association of fruit yield was significantly positive with all the characters except days to first flowering and ten fruit weight. Early fruit yield and late fruit yield per plant found highly significant and positive correlation with total fruit yield. The genotypic path coefficient analysis revealed that ascorbic acid had high direct positive effect on total fruit yield.
Key words :
Correlation, Path analysis and yield, Wild melon.
