Genetic variability and character association studies for yield-related traits in strawberry (Fragaria × Ananassa)
Authors

Abstract
The study employed a Randomized Complete Block
Design with three replications to assess morphological variability and examine
interrelationships among various traits. Statistical analyses included
correlation studies and path coefficient analysis to determine direct and
indirect effects of different morphological parameters on key performance
indicators in the selected strawberry cultivars. Coefficients of variability were
high for plant spread, leaf number/plant, number of fruits/plant and average
berry weight whereas high heritability coupled with high genetic gain was
observed for plant spread and number of fruits/plants. Yield/plant was
positively and significantly associated with plant spread, leaf number/plant,
duration of flowering, fruit length, breadth, number of achenes/fruits, number
of fruits/plants, average berry weight and TSS.
