Abstract

A study was conducted by using twenty one (21) F9 populations derived from inter-varietal crosses of Brassica rapa L. Path co-efficient analysis revealed that plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of siliqua per plant, seeds per siliqua, and siliqua length had the positive direct effect on yield per plant and days to 50% flowering, number of secondary branches per plant, and thousand seed weight had the negative direct effect on yield per plant. Correlation studyrevealed that yield per plant had significant positive association with plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of siliqua per plant, seeds per siliqua, and siliqua length (genotypic or phenotypic level). Based on the variability study, some F9 plants showed high heritability for short duration and yield contributing characters were selected from some of the crosses combinations of the intervarital crosses of Brassica rapafor further selection.
