Abstract

Correlation co-efficients and path co-efficient were calculated for 20 rooting parameters in 10 exotic mulberry germplasm accessions. Rooting % found to have higher positive correlation with shoot length, number of leaves per sapling, leaf weight (fresh and dry), shoot weight (fresh and dry), biomass weight (fresh and dry), root weight (fresh and dry), root length, root volume and root numbers per sapling. Path analysis of root weight (fresh) as independent character revealed shoot length, leaf weight (fresh and dry), shoot weight (fresh), root weight (dry) had strong direct effect on root weight (fresh).
