Abstract
The current experiment was conducted to evaluate correlation and path coefficient analysis for yield and yield contributing traits in eighty-seven linseed genotypes. Augmented design was used to investigate the experiment during rabi 2022-23. Seeds per capsule, capsules per plant, branches per plant, thousand seed weight and capsule size exhibited positively significant association with seed yield per plant. Path coefficient analysis recorded those seeds per capsule, branches per plant, capsules per plant, harvest index and thousand seed weight had direct positive effects on seed yield per plant, implying these traits were major contributors to the seed yield and these traits can be further used in crop improvement programs to develop better yielding linseed varieties.
