Abstract: The present experiment entitled Study of yield attributing traits for identification of ideal wheat (Triticum spp.) genotypes for changing climate of Chhattisgarh was conducted at Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur during rabi 2009-10. Path analysis exhibited maximum positive direct effect on seed yield via biological yield, followed by plant height, ear head length, number of seeds per ear head and harvest index, whereas negative direct effect through number of tillers per plant, days to maturity and days to 50% flowering.
Keywords: Wheat, Path analysis, climate, Chhattisgarh
