Current research started with an objective to find out the genotypic and phenotypic relationships among yield-related characteristics in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by utilizing 55 wheat genotypes alongside one standard variety. Field trial was conducted at Research Farm of BRD PG College during rabi 2019-2020 Experimental material was evaluated in RBD design with 3 replications. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated considerable genetic variability, suggesting a significant opportunity for the selection of superior genotypes. Path coefficient analysis revealed that traits such as days to 50% flowering, test weight, and grain hardiness exhibited substantial direct and indirect effects on grain yield. Important findings highlighted the positive genotypic impacts of grains per spike, spikelet per spike, and harvest index on yield, alongside notable environmental factors. These findings offer essential insights for wheat breeding programs, highlighting traits with high heritability and genetic progress for focused enhancement.
