This study was aimed at determining grain yield selection criteria using principal component analysis, correlation and path coefficient analysis. The experiment was carried out using seventeen medium duration soybean genotypes laid in a randomized complete block designin 2009 at at Teaching, Research and Experimental Farm of University of Agricultu...

A study was conducted on 56 genotypes of soybean to determine correlation and per cent contribution of variation by each trait on grain yield through principal component analysis. Mean Values for traits studied showed that TGx1987-64F had the highest yield of 2.09 t/ha, followed by TGx 1987-37-37F. Correlation coefficient for seed yield was positiv...

A field experiment was conducted during 2008-09 at Yandev in Benue state of Nigeria to evaluate 56 soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) genotypes for genotypic and phenotypic variances, coefficient of variance, heritability, genetic advance for yield and its contributing traits. Significant variations among the genotypes, year and year × genotypes were...

A field experiment was conducted during 1994-95 to evaluate 10 early duration rainfed lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes for grain yield and its yield components. Considerable range of variation was expressed for most of the traits. Grain yield was 2.0-4.2 tonnes/ha while other characters also varied substantially (1 000-grain weight: 22.430....

... 1000 grain weight was maximum in RTNRH -17 and RTNRH-10. The varietal difference for 1000 grain weight in rice have also been reported by Vange et al., (1999), Chandrashekhar et al., (2001 and Rajendran et al., (2002). RTNRH-10 (31.76g/plant) recorded highest grain yield per plant followed by RTNRH-17 (30.40g /plant) as compared to other genotypes. ...
... Such variations are useful in plant breeding as they provide heterogeneous population for a wide spectrum of genotypes for selection for the characters. These results agreed with the findings of GHATGE & KADU (1993) and RASAILY & al. (1986), SHAAHU & al. (2012SHAAHU & al. ( , 2014 who obtained considerable genotypic variability for seed yield. ...
... While days to 50% heading, Days to maturity, and productive tillers seem to have limited practical usefulness as indicators for selecting high yield in these genotypes. Chauhan et al. (1986), Suarez et al. (1989), Vange et al. (1999 2000) reported similar results. In conclusion: TOX 1010, WAB 36-34-Fx, and WAB 96-1-1 appear promising while Number of tillers, number of panicles, panicle weight, seeds weight/panicle, number of seeds/panicle could be use for indirect selection criteria for grain yield improvement. ...
... The highest PC score of EC 915898 followed by EC 915978, EC 915975 and EC 915974 in PC2 was mainly related with No. of pods/plant and Fresh Pod yield/plant which are mainly yield attributing traits. A more or less same trend was observed byBello et al. (2012) where he obtained comparable results by using principal component analysis to ...
... It indicated that genotypes such as CN-5, HS-17 and FS-10 have more yield as compared to Faisal soybean. Plant height is not significantly correlated with days to 50% flowering and number of pods per plant [16], but our results show a significantly and positive correlation [17,18]. Days to 50% flowering were found to be non-significantly correlated with branches per plant, pods per plant, and grain yield per hectare [16], but significantly and positively correlated with branches per plant and number of pods per plant in our results. ...
