Correlation and Path Coefficient Analysis for Yield and Yield Attributing Traits in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

This study aimed to investigate the correlations among yield and component traits estimate direct indirect effects of these on grain in rice. The experiment was conducted during kharif 2022. Correlation coefficients path were analyzed determine relationships between seed yield. results showed significant positive such as effective tillers per plant, total number filled grains, spikelet fertility, biological yield, harvest index, 100 weight. genotypic slightly higher than corresponding phenotypic correlations. Path coefficient analysis revealed that had maximum effect followed by panicle length, grains panicle, plant height, weight, days 50% flowering. These findings provide valuable information for selecting superior cross combinations hybrid rice breeding programs improve
