Abstract
The genetic correlation showed that seed cotton yield was positively and significantly conflated with number ofbolls per plant, number of seeds per boll and plant height. Path coefficient analysis revealed that number of bolls per plant had maximum positive direct effect on yield of seed cotton and number of seeds per boll, plant height and boll weight also contributed to the seed cotton yield potential of a plant via number of bolls per plant. The results suggested that selection for a promising cotton genotype may be accomplished with an optimistic compromise between number of bolls per plant, boll weight, number of seeds per boll and plant height. The h2B were high for plant height, number of bolls per plant, yield of seed cotton and moderate for boll weight and number of seeds per boll.
