In the present investigation, 39 desi (Gossypium arboreum L.) genotypes along with three checks viz., AKA-7, PA-08 and JLA-794 were studied to observe correlation and path analysis for fifteen yield contributing and fibre quality characters. Analysis of variance showed significant differences for all the characters among genotypes indicating the presence of wide range of genetic variability in the experimental materials.The correlation studies revealed positive and significant genotypic and Phenotypic correlation of days to 50 % flowering and upper half mean length with seed cotton yield per plant. The path coefficient analysis revealed that, the traits viz., days to 50% flowering, days to 50% boll bursting, plant height, number of sympodia per plant, number of bolls per plant, boll weight, seed index, ginning percent, fiber strength and uniformity ratio exerted direct positive effect on seed cotton yield. Therefore, these characters should be given due emphasis for making selection for high yielding genotypes in desi cotton.
