Genetic association in fennel grown on sodic soil
Abstract
Correlation and path analysis of 30 genotypes of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) grown in sodic soils of Banthra Research Station of NBRI, Lucknow, India, were worked out. Results showed significant genotypic association of seed yield with plant height and stover yield. The stover yield had a positive direct path with seed yield followed by branches plant-1. Plant height exhibited significant positive genotypic association with all the traits, which suggests that plant height is mainly responsible for increase of each trait, ultimately contributing in the enhancement of seed yield. The plant height, number of branches per plant and stover yield were found important components to build an ideal plant type to increase seed yield. Hence selection should be based on these traits.
