Assessing Genetic Variability, Correlation, Direct and Indirect Effects of Yield Contributing Characters on Seed Yield in Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn)

A field experiment was conducted aiming to study the Assessing genetic variability, correlation, direct and indirect effects of yield contributing characters on seed in 20 Finger millet lines kharif season 2021 Randomized Block Design (RBD) at Field Experimentation Station, Department Genetics Plant Breeding. Phenotypic genotypic coefficient variation found highest ear head length (25.37& 21.16) lowest plant height (3.49 & 1.76), heritability (%) broad sense for 13 were range from (25.30%) (78.70%). perusal advance revealed that it high (40.43) low number fingers (0.45). correlation analysis yield/plant showed highly significant positive association with (0.930) (0.769) harvest index (0.769). The phenotypic path grain exhibited by biological yield.
