The present investigation was carried out with a view to study the magnitude of variability, correlation and path analysis excluding reciprocals involving 25 genotypes in Black gram during Kharif - 2019. The experimental material was planted in randomized block design with three replications at the Field Experimentation Centre, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, SHUATS, Prayagraj, U.P. The analysis of variance indicated that parents were significant for all the characters, indicating presence of considerable amount of genetic variability in the germplasm tested. Number of clusters per plant, seed yield per plant exhibited high GCV, PCV and genetic parameters revealed that heritability (broad sense) and genetic advance as % of mean values were high for days to maturity, harvest index, but in case of genetic advance and genetic advance as % of mean values were high for seed yield per plant indicating that selection would be fruitful for improvement of these traits. Correlation coefficient analysis revealed that seed yield per plant exhibited positive and significant association with Number of branches per plant, harvest index, Number of pods per plant, Number of seeds per pod. The Path coefficient analysis indicated that selection for days to maturity, Plant height, Number of clusters per plant, seed index, harvest index, would directly increase seed yield. The genotypes SHEKAR -3, IPU862 X IPU96-1, SHEKAR, and G.C 9120 X IC106194were observed as promising genotypes for importance quantitative traits.
