Abstract
One hundred accessions along with 5 check varieties of taramira (Eruca sativa Mill.) evaluated for grain yield during 2013-2014. The association analysis revealed that the seed yield per plant was positively and significantly correlated with number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, siliquae per plant, siliqua length, seeds per siliqua and test weight. Whereas, association with was days to maturity and oil content was non-significant, indicating yield to be not improved by these characters. Path coefficient analysis revealed that traits such as number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, siliquae per plant, siliqua length, seeds per siliqua, test weight, oil content and days to maturity were effective for the selection of high yielding lines as they exhibited positive direct effect with seed yield. While days to 50 per cent flowering and plant height showed negative and direct effects on seed yield per plant.
