An investigation was carried out using 20 opium genotypes, to study character association between fourteen characters and their direct and indirect effect on seed yield and latex yield independently. Association study indicated that seed yield per plant had significant positive correlation with diameter of main capsule () and latex yield per plant (). Whereas latex yield per plant had significant positive correlation with days to 50 per cent flowering () and seed yield per plant (), indicating that seed yield and latex yield per plant can be improved by improving these correlated characters. |
