Yield being a complex character is governed by a large number of genes. To evaluate the relationship between yield and its components in maize through correlation and path studies a study was conducted. In present investigation, it was inferred that genotypic and phenotypic correlations among ten morpho-physiological and yield traits in maize lines were significant. The grain yield plot-1 was positively correlated with 100-seed weight, ears plot-1 , chlorophyll content, plant height, ear height and number of kernels row-1 indicating the importance of these traits in selection for yield. | Studies on maize yield under drought using correlation and path coefficient analysis
