Abstract

Fifteen Mulberry germplasm accessions were evaluated based on morphological and yield attributes. Before analysis the data, both quantitative and qualitative traits were ranked as suggested by Kendall and Spearman (1904). Simple and rank correlation analysis revealed that leaf appearance, leaf surface, leaf yield and total biomass weight are positively and significantly associated with each other. The rank value vs. rank value and rank value vs. numeric data were also analysed and a group of combination of characters showed relationship with each other. Thus, the result indicates a wide spectrum of relationship providing ample scope for indirect selection of accessions for further crop improvement.
