with an objective to study the correlation and path analysis studies in Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.). The direct and indirect effects of yield components on fruit yield per plant in brinjal. In C-I fruit length (0.8351) and plant height (0.1554) recorded highest direct positive effects on fruit yield per plant. The major contribution of fruit length on fruit yield per plant was intensified further by positive indirect effect through plant height (0.06560 and fruit width (0.0265). The direct effect of plant height on fruit yield per plant was mainly increased by the indirect effects through fruit length (0.3572) and fruit width (0.0246). In C-II fruit length (0.9324), number of fruit per cluster (0.3028) and number of fruit per plant (0.2544) recorded highest direct positive effects on fruit yield per plant. The major contribution of fruit length on fruit yield per plant was intensified further by positive indirect effects through plant height (0.0233) and per cent fruit set (0.0321). The direct effect of number of fruit per cluster on fruit yield per plant was mainly increased by the indirect effects through per cent fruit set (0.0321). The direct effect of number of fruit per plant on fruit yield was intensified further by positive indirect effects through number of fruit per cluster and fruit width.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
