A variability and association study of Chlorophytum borivilianum over two micro-environmental conditions on yield and yield-contributing morphometrical traits revealed the scope for genetic improvement in major yield attributes with some limitations for root length and diameter. An interrelationship among the yield and yield attributes indicated that improvement in yield can be attained through improvement in root numbers, root length, and diameter; however, more emphasis must be paid on root diameter for organic conditions. The cause and effect study on the interrelationship exhibited the importance of productive root yield as a causation to improvement in yield.
