The correlation and path analysis gives better insight, into cause and effect relationship between different pairs of characters. The present study was carried out on 24 genotypes for eight quantitative characters in three environments. The genetic correlation study revealed that single plant yield showed positive significant correlation with plant height, days to 50% flowering, number of clusters per plant and number of pods per plant in all the three environments studied. On the other hand, hundred seed weight showed negative non-significant correlation with single plant yield on the environments studied. Path analysis revealed that number of pods per plant had the highest direct effect on the single plant yield and it was followed by the number of clusters per plant. Based on the association analysis characters like number of pods per plant, number of clusters per plant, plant height and days to 50% flowering should be given more consideration in breeding for higher grain yield in soybean.
