The present investigations were planned to determine the best selection criteria for yield improvement in mustard (Brassica
juncea). Ten genotypes of Brassica juncea were sown in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications at
Oilseeds Research Institute, Faisalabad during the years 2006 and 2007. At phenotypic level, seed yield per plant had
significant positive correlation with oil %age while highly significant positive correlation with plant height and silique
length. The genetic correlation was positive and highly significant with plant height, branches per plant, silique length,
weight of 1000 seed and oil %age. A positive and highly significant genetic relationship was found between plant height and
branches per plant, silique length and seeds per silique, oil %age and 1000 seed weight. Path coefficient revealed that the
plant height and silique length had direct positive contribution towards seed yield per plant because these traits possessed
high h2
B.S , significant positive correlation and maximum positive direct effects with yield.
