Abstract : An investigation on correlation and path co-efficient analysis of twenty two mango germplasm namely Rad, Farooquebhog, Neelumbori, Neelumboti, Chausa, Mallika, Tommy Atkin, Hybrid-10, Shindhu, Mixed special, Gopalbhog, Surmai Fazli, Langra, Khirsapat, Amrapali, BARI mango-1, Pahlam, Kent, Keitt, Palmar, Kalibhog and Sindhu was carried out at the Germplasm (GP) Center of Fruit Tree Improvement Project (FTIP), Department of Horticulture and the laboratory of the Department of Bio-chemistry, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during December, 2002 to December, 2003 to elucidate the importance of various characters as components of yield in mango. Fruit weight, fruit length, fruit breadth, fruit thickness, percent edible portion, stone length, stone breadth, moisture and vitamin C had highly significant positive correlation with fruit yield. Based on path co-efficient analysis harvested fruit per plant and fruit weight were found to be most important component characters and they had positive direct effect on yield.
