Abstract : The study revealed that the grain yield plant-1 indicated positive and highly significant correlation with straw yield plant-1, harvest index and weight of grains on main earhead at phenotypic and genotypic level, while number of fingers on main earhead at genotypic level only. Under mango based agroforestry system, path analysis indicated that finger length, harvest index, number of fingers on main earhead and straw yield plant1 had direct positive effect on grain yield at genotypic level. Selection programme based on number of fingers on main earhead and straw yield plant-1 will be effective for grain yield improvement in finger millet under mango based agroforestry system.
