Amaranth is one of the most important leafy vegetables of tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world. The
leaves and stems provide cheap but rich source of vitamins A and C and elements like N, P, K, Ca, Mg,
Fe, Na and Zn. Among the species of vegetable amaranth, Amaranthus tricolor L. is the most commonly grown and shows appreciable variation for different characters. However, no systematic work has
been done for improvement of this important species particularly in Jharkhand w here it is grown
successfully almost round the year. The estimates of heritability and geneti c advance are useful in
determining the influence of environment in expression of the characters and the extent to which improvement
is possible after selection (Robinson et al., 1949). Correlation between yield and its components and their
relative contri bution to yield will be of great value in improving the efficiency of se lection. Hence, the
p resent investigation was aimed at assessing the genetic variability, association of different characters
and path analysis for improvement of vegetative yield in A. tricolor.
