Association and Path Coefficient Analysis among F2 Segregating Population of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L)

Tomato is one of the most important vegetable crop grown by small farmers and commercial growers for both local uses as well processing industries. So, it to increase its productivity along with desirable attributes through genetic characters. Therefore, present experiment was conducted at College Agriculture, Vellayani, evaluate F2 segregating population a tomato cross involving Anagha x IIHR 2896 correlation path analysis. Correlation analysis revealed that plant height, number primary branches, spread, days first flowering, fruit harvest, fruits per plant, weight, volume, locules were highly significant positively correlated yield plant. Path weight volume had high positive direct effect on followed height spread. However, harvest negative Hence, characters showing should be given more emphasis in selection programme development superior varieties.
