Abstract : A path coefficient analysis for some quantitative characters of 50 clones of mango cv. Fazli was conducted. Results revealed that the number of fruits per plant and fruit weight had the maximum direct effects on the fruit yield. The indirect effect of number of fruits per plant on plant age and panicle diameter was positive but low. The indirect effect of fruit weight on fruit yield through plant age, panicle length, and fruit length and diameter was positive.
