A field experiment of twenty genotypes of brinjal had done with an aim to study correlation and association analysis for fruit yield and its yield contributing characters so as to identify genotypes with desirable attributes for the utilization in crop improvement program during kharif 2017-18. Correlation studies revealed that traits like plant height, number of branches per plant, plant spread, number of fruit per plant, days to 50 % flowering, fruit length and fruit diameter had significant association with fruit yield per plant. The result of path coefficient analysis indicated that the traits like number of fruits per plant, number of branches per plant, plant spread (N-S) and days to 50% flowering should be considered essential for developing high yielding genotypes as they had high positive direct effects on fruit yield per plant. Thus, the fruit yield per plant can be improved by making selection of these characters during yield improvement programme.
