The present experiment comprised of three parents Meha, GJM-1006 and GJM-1008 their 30 F4 progenies derived from the crosses Meha x GJM-1006 (17 progenies) and Meha x GJM-1008 (13 progenies). Seed yield per plant was strongly and positively associated with the yield components like days to 50 % flowering, plant height, primary branches per plant, days to maturity, pods per plant, 100 seed weight, seeds per plant and clusters per plant in the two segregating populations except days to 50 % flowering and days to maturity in the cross Meha x GJM-1006. Path analysis involving two segregating populations revealed that seed yield was primarily influenced by plant height and 100 seed weight which had higher positive direct effects on seed yield per plant in Meha x GJM-1008. While, in the cross Meha x GJM-1006, seed yield per plant was primarily influenced by plant height, seeds per pod and primary branches per plant. Hence, for increasing the seed yield, direct selection of genotypes based on traits exhibiting positive correlation and higher positive direct effect will be more fruitful.
