The present investigation was carried out on chickpea minicore collections obtained from ICRISAT, Hyderabad (Andra Pradesh) for getting appropriate information regarding interrelationship among productivity and it's related characters for effective selection programme under three environments viz., E1( rainfed 2004-05 ), E2(rainfed 2005-06) and E3 (irrigated 2005-06). The genotypic correlations of 203 chickpea minicore were higher than their respective phenotypic correlations in all the three environments. It indicated that the environmental component had less influence on association of the characters Seed yield had highly significant positive correlation with pods per plant and 100 seed weight in all the three environments. Correlation among yield components itself indicated that number of pods was positively associated with plant height, number of primary, secondary and tertiary branches per plant. Therefore, based on the results of the present study pods per plant, 100 seed weight, plant height, days to 50 per cent flowering and also number of branches may be regarded as major yield components in chickpea. Number of pods per plant, 100 seed weight, plant height and number of branches had high positive direct effect on seed yield in all the environments. Number of pods per plant had high indirect effect on seed yield via number of tertiary branches per plant which generally bears pods and showed strong positive correlation with seed yield per plant in all the environments. Based on the results of the present investigation pods per plant, 100 seed weight, plant height, days to 50 per cent flowering and number of branches may be regarded as major yield components in chickpea in all the environments. Therefore, due emphasis may be given on these characters for selecting high yielding genotypes in chickpea.
