Abstract: Experiments were carried out in twenty clones of Dalbergia sissoo genetic resources in clonal evaluation trial at Forest College and Research Institute, Mettupalayam to elicit the information on the association studies using biometric attributes during 2012-13. The association study revealed that volume recorded significant and positive correlation with tree height, diameter at breast height (DBH), basal diameter, clear bole height and crown height. The path analysis study indicated that tree height, diameter at breast height (DBH), basal diameter, crown height and clear bole height exercised positive direct effect on volume while number of branches showed negative direct effect on volume. Diameter at breast height (DBH) exerted positive indirect effect via tree height, basal diameter, number of branches and bole height on volume. Hence from the study, the tree height, basal diameter, number of branches and bole height could be used as reliable and relevant indicators for Dalbergia sissoo tree improvement programme.
