Diversity of Ethiopian Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) Accessions Based on Agromorphological Traits

Table 6

Estimates of direct (bold-diagonal) and indirect effects (off-diagonal) path at phenotypic levels of the 10 traits on seed yield per plant in 160 fenugreek accessions.

Variable	SYPP	NPB	NSB	APL	NPPP	rp
SYPP	0.07	−0.01	0.01	0.00	0.08	0.17
NPB	0.00	−0.18	0.20	0.01	0.08	0.15

Residual 0.13, SYPP Seed yield per plant, NPB Number of primary branches, NSB Number of secondary branches, APL Average pod length, and NPPP. Number of pods per plant. The bold values shows direct effects on yield, so we can choose those parameters to improve the crop.
