ABSTRACT
Seed yield is a complex character governed by several contributing characters. Hence, character association was studied in the present investigation to assess the relationship among yield and its components for enhancing the usefulness of selection criterion to be followed while developing varieties. Correlation and path analysis were made for 14 characters in 70 genotypes of soybean. The seed yield per plant had highly significant and positive correlation with biological yield per plant, number of pods per plant, number of clusters per plant, days to flowering and plant height. Path coefficient analysis revealed that biological yield per plant, number of pods per plant, harvest index, number of branches per plant and number of clusters per plant had appreciable positive direct effect on seed yield per plant.
