Study of Genetic Variability and Character Association in Elite Lines of Finger Millet [Eleusine coracana (L.)] Suitable for Eastern Plain Zone of Uttar Pradesh

The present study was entitled “Study of genetic variability and character association in elite lines finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.)] Suitable for the eastern plain zone Uttar Pradesh” carried out to estimate variability, advance, correlation, between yield contributing traits direct indirect effect component on through path analysis (18). investigation concluded genotype acquiring less grain per plant were IC NO 0474166 (FIN 5126) (0.41 t/ha). 0473932 4980) (2.22 t/ha) high ear head length.
