Abstract:

The present investigation was conducted to assess correlation and perform path analysis in thirty finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) genotypes, which were evaluated in a Randomized Block Design with two replications during Kharif 2023-24 at the College of Agriculture, Dapoli. Correlation analysis indicated that grain yield per plant had significant positive associations with number of tillers per plant, number of fingers, finger length, straw yield per plant, harvest index, and calcium content at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. Path coefficient analysis further revealed that days to maturity, number of productive tillers, finger length, straw yield per plant, harvest index, protein content, and iron content exerted positive direct effects on grain yield.
