The present investigations were undertaken
on twelve genotypes to study the association of
important metric traits by correlation analysis and to
determine the direct and indirect effects of the
components of yield by path analysis in bottle gourd. Results revealed that the magnitude of genotypic correlation coefficients was higher than their
corresponding phenotypic ones for most of the
characters.The partitioning of genotypic correlation
coefficients of prominent yield components with edible
fruit yield per plant, into direct and indirect effects
following path analysis indicated that the number
of fruits per plant exhibited the highest positive direct effect
on edible fruit yield per plant. The present findings
indicated that the characters viz., number of fruits per
plant, edible fruit weight and number of seeds per fruit
and days to first fruit harvest, days to first pistillate and
staminate flower anthesis were the major yield
contributing traits in bottle gourd. It is suggested that
more emphasis should be given on these traits over
others during selection for improvement of fruit yield in
bottle gourd.
