Pod shattering as related to other agronomic attributes in soybean
Year: 1991
Type: article
Abstract: Correlation and path analysis of pod shattering in relation to seven other agronomic characters was carried out in 21 cultivars of soybean. Pod shattering showed a significant negative correlation (r=−0.51) with 100 seed-weight. Path analysis revealed that characters, days to maturity and grain yield, were the principal contributors towards pod shattering by having direct negative effects. The associations indicated that resistance/tolerance to pod shattering could be combined with other desirable agronomic characters. Shattering-resistant cultivars were identified
