Title: Correlation and path-coefficient analysis of pummelo
Abstract: The study was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Akbarpur, Moulvibazar to determine the correlation along with their direct and indirect effects through path coefficient analysis as to estimate the contribution of most important traits towards yield for pummelo. Fruit yield per plant showed highly significant positive correlation with number of fruits per plant (r =0.91) and individual fruit weight (r =0.55). Significant positive relationship were observed between fruit yield per plant and fruit breadth (r =0.38), number of seeds per fruit (r =0.35), weight of seeds per fruit (r =0.38). Highly significant positive relationships were recorded for individual fruit weight and fruit breadth (r =0.8), number of seeds per fruit and weight of seeds per fruit (r =0.83) and also for plant height and canopy spreading at north-south direction (r = 0.51). Number of segments per fruit showed highly significant positive interrelation with number of seeds per fruit (r =0.52) and significant positive relationship with TSS (r =0.39) and weight of seeds per fruit (r =0.38). It was observed that number of fruits per plant had maximum positive direct effect on fruit yield per plant (0.8353) and individual fruit weight showed positive direct effect on fruit yield per plant (0.5027). Fruit breadth exerted negative direct effect (-0.1302) on fruit yield per plant but it had positive significant correlation with fruit yield per plant (r = 0.38). Negative direct effect was mainly counter balanced by individual positive effects of different characters. Correlation andpath coefficient analysis indicated that number of fruits per plant, individual fruit weight and fruit breadth were the most important contributors to fruit yield per plant in pummelo.
