Abstract
An experiment comprising 104 sunflower genotypes was conducted at Oilseeds Research Institute, AARI, Faisalabad, Pakistan to study genetic correlation coefficients, direct and indirect effects of different plant traits on seed yield. The genetic correlation of stem girth, head diameter, 100-achene weight, number of seeds per head and stem girth length ratio was positive and significant with seed yield of sunflower. Path analysis indicated that seed yield can be improved by increasing the 100-achene weight, number of seeds per head and stem girth length ratio. Key words: Sunflower, Genotypic correlation, Path analysis, Stem girth, Head diameter, Seed yield
