- W2186262320 abstract "2 Abstract: The level of variability and heritability in Egusi melons needed to aid selection of cultivars with improving traits and yield are scanty. The present study was undertaken to understand the level of character associations and path analysis of yield components in Egusi melon (Citrullus vulgaris) for selection of high yielding accessions for production and improvement purposes. The study was carried out at the Research Farm of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike. It was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replicates. Data were collected on the yield and yield component traits. Analysis of variance, genetic studies, correlation as well as path analysis was done on the generated data. Highly significant differences (P<0.01) were observed in the traits of the accessions with exception of average pod length and average pod weight. The magnitude of the error variances was lower than the genotype variances for all the traits, such lower error variances indicated that the genotypic components were the major contributor to the total variance observed in the traits. Pod yield/plant and number of pods/plot was positive and significantly correlated with other traits. Significant and positive association among yield traits suggested that such traits are complementary and selection of a trait will lead to the improvement of others. Pod weight with lower correlation value of 0.589 when compared with number of pods that had 0.639 had higher direct effect of 0.37 on seed yield. Average pod width had a negative direct effect on seed yield. Number of pods/plant had the highest indirect effect of 0.28 through pod yield to seed yield. Selection of genotypes of Egusi melon with higher average weight as well as with high number of pods will give a higher seed yield especially as the traits are highly heritable and are complementary in action." @default.
