Number of seeds per plant was significantly and positively correlated with plant height and number of clusters plant-1 at both genotypic and phenotypic levels, whereas it was significantly and positively associated with number of seeds pod-1, test weight, days to maturity and days to 50 per cent flowering at genotypic level and with number of pods plant-1 at phenotypic level. Path analysis indicated that plant height, days to 50 per cent flowering and test weight recorded the highest direct effect in desirable direction. Their association with seed yield was significant and positive indicating the fact that there exists a true and perfect association between these characters. This also suggested that direct selection for these characters will help in isolating early and high yielding genotypes.
