The present study was undertaken with the objective to determine the nature and magnitude of association between yield and it`s component characters and their direct, indirect effects on marketable fruit yield per plant in brinjal (Solanum melongena L.). Forty eight bi-parental and 60 F3 progenies were evaluated for identifying their efficiency with respect to 16 yield and quality traits. The correlation studies revealed strong positive association of marketable fruit yield with fruits per plant, plant height and fruit weight. Genotypic correlations in general were high as compared to their phenotypic correlations indicated strong inherent association between the characters. The result of path analysis indicated that the fruit weight had maximum direct effect on marketable fruit yield followed by number of fruits per plant and fruit length.
