Association Between Yield of Fruits and its Components in Solanum Khasianum Clarke

Abstract

Association between yield of fruits and its components, i.e., number of fruits/plant, weight/fruit and size of fruits, as well as between the components themselves was studied in Solanum khasianum Clarke. All the correlation coefficients were found to be positive and significant, highest (+ 0.72) being between number of fruits/plant and yield of fruits. The values of coefficients of determination indicated that the maximum variability in the yield of fruits was caused by number of fruits/plant (51.84%) followed by weight/fruit (32.49%) and size of fruits (21.62%). Regression equations were calculated and regression Hues were drawn.
