An experiment was undertaken to find the correlation and path analysis of fourteen quantitative traits in 50 Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) germplasm lines. The experiment material was evaluated in a randomized block design with two replications. Analysis of variance ratios of the characters were found highly significant for the following traits seed yield per plant, fruiting zone length, first basal branch, days to initial flowering, days to 50% flowering. Coefficient of variation for GCV and PCV were found high for the following traits i.e. for First basal branch, Seed yield/plant (g), Thousand seed weight, Fruiting zone length, Seeds/siliqua. Higher heritability and higher genetic advance observed in the following characters seed yield per plant, thousand seed weight, fruiting zone length, days to initial flowering, first basal branch. Correlation study revealed that plant height, secondary branch, main shoot length, siliqua on main shoot, maturity exerted high positive significant genotypic correlation with seed yield per plant. In phenotypic correlation was observed that main shoot length, siliqua on main shoot, maturity showed highly significant and positive correlation with seed yield per plant. Path analysis revealed that seeds per siliqua showed maximum positive direct genotypic effect however the highest direct phenotypic effect of initial flowering was exhibited through seed yield per plant.
