Abstract
Correlation and path coefficient analyses were carried out in 63 strains of triticale for grain yield and its components. Grain yield plant showed significantly positive association with tillers/plant, grains/main spike and spikelets/main spike, while length of main spike and 100-grain weight though had positive association but of low magnitude. Plant height had negative correlation with yield. Path coefficient analysis revealed that tillers/plant, grains/main spike and 100-grain weight had positive direct effects on grain yield/plant. Spikelets/main spike and spike length also showed positive direct effect on grain yield/plant but of low magnitude. Therefore, due stress must be laid on number of tillers/plant, number of grains/main spike. 100-grain weight, number of spikelets/main spike and length of main spike during the selection for higher yield in triticale.
