Character Association and Path Coefficient Studies in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.): Experimental Investigation

Thirty two cucumber genotypes were collected from different states of India and evaluated for yield quality characters at Bhubaneswar, Odisha during Rabi season 2019. The relationships between fruit components in investigated correlation studies revealed that per plant had positive significant association with vine length, number fruits plant, diameter average weight, while negative correlations observed node which first female flower appears, days to production, harvest severity downy mildew percentage both phenotypic genotypic levels. Path coefficient analysis maximum direct effect on followed by harvest, weight while, production was plant. Future breeding should focus selecting the having effects improve
