Genetic variability and character association studies in Jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC.) for yield and yield contributing traits

摘要: Fifteen genotypes of Jack bean were studied for variability, correlation and path analysis. The characters viz., plant height at first harvest, number primaries per last pod weight, pods plant, seeds pod, 100 seed weight yield observed with high genetic heritability in conjunction higher advance as percent mean indicating the predominance additive gene action on expression these traits hence direct selection will be rewarding improvement bean. This complex set association between various components clearly indicated that early would reliable to increase length, ultimately plant.
