Abstract

Character association and path analysis of grain yield were studied among eight genotypes of rice bean during kharif 2001 in the mid-hill condition of the North Western Hill Zone. High heritability were obtained for grain yield, biological yield and days to maturity. Additive gene action was predominant for days to maturity, plant height and number of pods per plant, while gene action for biological yield and grain yield were mainly non-additive. Genotypic correlation coefficient revealed that grain yield had significant positive association with days to maturity and number of pods per plant. These characters also exhibited maximum direct effect on grain yield indicating better selection criteria for grain yields in rice bean.
