Abstract

Correlation and path co-efficient analysis was performed in thirty provenances of shisham for seven seedling traits. The genotypic and phenotypic correlation co-efficients between different pairs of characters did not give a comprehensive picture of association between them. Path co-efficient analysis, however, revealed that seedling height, weight of leaves and height up to first branch contributed more directly to the collar diameter, an important trait in forest trees at seedling level.
