Genetic variability, correlation and path coefficients were studied in sugarcane using 40 phenotypically diverse genotypes, which were planted in randomized block design. The study revealed highly significant differences among the 40 genotypes for all the characters. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance observed for single cane weight, number of internodes per stalk, sugar yield and cane yield (t/ha) indicated the presence of additive gene action and direct selection may be highly effective. Correlation coefficient revealed that cane yield was found to be highly significantly and positively correlated with tillers at 120 DAP ('000/ha), shoots at 240 DAP ('000/ha), single cane weight (kg), stalk length (cm) at harvest, stalk diameter (cm), NMC/ha and sugar yield (t/ha) at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. Path coefficient analysis indicated the highest positive direct effect of CCS % at 360 DAP. Based on findings it can be suggested that for improving cane yield in sugarcane more emphasis should be given to NMC/ha, stalk length, stalk diameter, number of internodes per stalk and single cane weight.
