Correlation and path coefficient analysis in turmeric (Curcuma longa L.)


Author(s): Thokchom Joydeep Singh, RK Patel, KG Modha and Priya Patel

Abstract: The present research work was carried out at Research Farm, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during Kharif 2016-17. The experimental materials comprised of thirty diverse genotypes of turmeric and were evaluated in randomized block design with two replications. The magnitudes of genotypic correlations were higher as compared to the corresponding phenotypic correlations indicating that there was an inherent association between the characters at genotypic level. Among the studied fourteen traits of turmeric, plant height, rhizome length, rhizome width, rhizome weight, secondary fingers per rhizome and mother rhizomes per plant exhibited positive significant correlation with green rhizome yield and they have also exhibited positive direct effects on green rhizome yield, hence priority should be given to these traits in turmeric crop improvement programme.
