ABSTRACT
The field experiment was conducted at New Orchard of Main Agriculture Research Station, Raichur, Karnataka, during the year 2013 and 2014 to study the correlation and path analysis in French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Twelve genotypes of French bean were evaluated in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Pod yield per hectare had positive and highly significant association with pod yield per plant, pod length, weight of pod, plant height, leaf area, ovule number per pod, number of seeds per pod at both phenotypic and genotypic level. Path coefficient analysis revealed that leaf area, pod weight, number of seeds per pod, number of pods per plant, pod length and pod width exerted maximum direct effect on pod yield per hectare at both genotypic and phenotypic level. Pod length had highest indirect effect on pod yield per hectare through weight of 10 pods at phenotypic level.
Key words :
Chlorophyll content, French bean, Phaseolus vulgaris Genotype, Path analysis and pod, Yield attributes.
