Character association among seed yield and its component traits was studied through phenotypic correlation coefficients and path analysis. Seed yield exhibited positive and significant association with plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, siliquae per plant, seeds per siliqua and 1000 seed weight. Path analysis revealed that characters viz., seed yield exhibited The highest positive direct effect on siliquae per plant followed by 1000 seed weight, seeds per siliqua, number of primary branches per plant, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity and plant height. Considering both, the correlation coefficients and path coefficients together, siliquae per plant, 1000 seed weight, seeds per siliqua, number of primary branches per plant and plant height emerged as important components of seed yield which should be given due importance during indirect selection criteria.
