Path coefficient study in grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.)
Author(s): RK Yadav
Abstract: A study conducted with 18 accessions of grain amaranth indicated that panicle length (0.376) exhibited maximum positive direct effect on grain yield followed by 1000 seed weight (0.125) and number of panicles/ plant (0.119). In general, the indirect effects of yield components were either negligible or intermediate in magnitude. Therefore, improvement in seed yield can be achieved by selecting the genotypes in which panicle length and number of panicles with 1000 seed weight produces more grain yield/ plant.
