Abstract: Black gram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper), popularly known as urd bean, urid or mash is widely grown in India. The experimental material used in the present study comprised of forty six genotypes including standard checks. A total of eleven traits have been studied for association analysis. The experiment was carried out at Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Indore (M.P.).
Correlation coefficient analysis at phenotypic and genotypic levels indicated that apart from number of seeds per plant and 100-seed weight other traits like number of pods per plant, number of primary branches per plant, number of seeds per pod, biological yield per plant, harvest index, days to 50% flowering, plant height and days to flower initiation were positive correlated with seed yield per plant. It is therefore suggested that preference should also be given to these traits in selection programme to isolate superior strains with genetic potentiality for higher seed yield. Path coefficient analysis revealed a higher and positive direct effect for number of seeds per plant and 100-seed weight on seed yield so weightage should be given to such traits in selection of parents for yield improvement.
