The Exploitation of Genetic Variability and Trait Association Analysis for Diverse Quantitative Traits in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

The present investigation was conducted using 102 wheat genotypes at Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Gwalior during Rabi 2018-2019 in randomized block design with two replications. A set genotype were used to estimate genetic variability, correlation coefficients and path for fourteen yield its accrediting attributes. wide range variation observed important components. GCV PCV recorded highest biological yield/plant. High heritability accompanied higher advance numbers productive tillers/plants, spike length, weight spike, grains/spike, yield/plant, grain harvest index test weight. Genotypic found be magnitude than that phenotypic most the traits under investigation, which clearly indicated presence inherent association among various characters. genotypic analysis study significant positive five contributing characters viz., tillers/plant, grain/spike. Thus, selection these would directly follow immediate improvement crop. Analysis coefficient on disclosed direct effect tillers/plant tracked by weight, index, grains/spike spikelets/spike. Whilst, indirect documented per plant via tillers/plants. Henceforward, must given weightage future breeding programmes.
