An investigation was carried out to examine the path coefficient analysis of the thirty one genotypes of cluster bean including check, Pusa Navabhar. The investigation was laid out in RBD with three replication during kharif- 2015 at the vegetable research farm, Department of Horticulture, SHIATS Allahabad located in South-East part (Zone 4) of Uttar Pradesh. The mean sum of squares due to genotypes was significant for all the seventeen characters. The significant difference among the genotypes for all the characters under study suggested that there was ample scope for selection of promising cluster bean genotypes for vegetable yield and seed yield improvement. Path analysis revealed that high rate of positive direct effects for yield per plant trait were observed at genotypic level by means of the traits number of clusters per plant (0.38), number of pods per cluster (0.38) and ten dry pod weight(1.18). While high rate of positive direct effects for vegetable pod yield per plant trait were observed at genotypic level by means of the traits viz., Plant height at 45 DAS (2.019), Pod length (8.463) and pod breadth (2.711). It indicates that, emphasis can be laid on these characters during selection of genotypes for improvement of seed yield and vegetable pod yield traits.
