        abstract = {The current research study on Assessment of Correlation and Path Analysis for seed yield and yield contributing traits in mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) R Wilczek) was granted to evaluate correlation coefficient analysis and path coefficient analysis in eight genotypes of mungbean were sown in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications during kharif season (2024) at School of Agricultural Sciences G H Raisoni University, Saikheda. The observation was recorded for nine characters and the nine characters are days to maturity, days to 50% flowering, plant height (cm), number of pods per plant, number of primary branches per plant, pod length (cm), number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight (gm) and seed yield per plant (gm). According to the analysis, Genotypic correlation coefficients were generally higher than phenotypic ones, suggesting that most associations with yield were genetically controlled. Seed yield per plant showed highly significant and positive correlation with number of primary branches, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, and 100-seed weight at both levels, making these key traits for yield improvement. Number of Pod length also had a strong positive association with number seeds per plant. Path analysis indicated that number of pods per plant, 100-seed weight, and number of seeds per pod exerted major direct positive effects on yield, while plant height had a negative effect at the phenotypic level. The residual effects were 0.361 (genotypic) and 0.457 (phenotypic), showing that most yield variation was explained by the studied traits. Overall, the findings suggest that the number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and 100-seed weight are the most reliable selection criteria for genetic improvement of seed yield in mungbean.},
