Abstract
Genotypic correlation coefficients and path coefficients were worked out in 45 crosses and their 10 parents in American cotton, (G. hirsutum L.) Number of balls per plant. plant height, number of monopodia, sympodia and seeds per boll had positive correlation with seed cotton yield. while ginning percentage showed significant negative association. All these traits showed either significant positive or negative association with number of bolls per plant. Path coefficient analysis revealed that among all the characters studied, number of bolls per plant should receive greater emphasis in cotton. improvement programmes as it contributes significantly through other characters.
