Abstract: The present investigation on path analysis for quantitative traits in Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) was undertaken at experimental farm of Department of Agril. Botany, VNMKV, Parbhani, Maharashtra. The experimental material consisted of Twenty two Cowpea germplasm lines including two checks evaluated during kharif, 2017 in Randomized Block Design with two replications. The observations were recorded on 12 characters viz., Plant height (cm), No. of primary branches per plant, Days to 50 per cent flowering, No. of pods per plant, No. of seeds per pod, Mean pod weight (g), Pod length (cm), Pod width (cm), Days to first pod harvest, 100 seed weight (g), Pod yield per plant (g) and Pod yield per hectare (kg). The path co-efficient analysis revealed that, pod yield per hectare (qt) (G-0.9646) exerted the highest positive direct effect followed by pod width (G-0.0198), 100 seed weight (G-0.0169), plant height (G-0.0159) and mean pod weight (0.0138).
