The forty four promising sorghum genotypes were evaluated for variability, correlation and path analysis for yield and yield contributing characters, at Sorghum improvement Project, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri during Rabi-2019-20. High estimates of PCV and GCV were observed for traits no. of green leaves per plant at harvest, panicle length (cm), panicle width (cm), panicle weight (g), harvest index and grain yield per plant (g).High estimates of heritability along with high genetic advance were recorded for plant height (cm), no. of green leaves per plant at harvest, panicle length (cm), panicle width (cm), panicle weight (g), 1000 grain weight (g), dry fodder yield per plant (g), harvest index and grain yield per plant (g).Correlation studies revealed a positive and significant association of grain yield with plant height (cm), number of internodes per plant, number of green leaves per plant at harvest, panicle length (cm), panicle width (cm), panicle weight (g), 1000 grain weight (g), dry fodder yield per plant (g) and harvest index at both genotypic and phenotypic level. Harvest index, panicle weight, dry fodder yield per plant, days to maturity and no. of internodes per plant recorded high magnitudes of direct effects accompanied by highly significant correlation with the grain yield at genotypic level, indicating true and perfect relationship between them. Thus suggesting that selection for these traits viz., harvest index, panicle weight, dry fodder yield per plant, days to maturity and no. of internodes per plant will be highly rewarding for improving the grain yield per plant.
