Correlation Based Insights into Growth, Yield and Seed Quality Traits of Green Gram (Vigna radiata L.)

Abstract

An experiment was conducted at a farm in Navi Vasni,  

Aravalli, Gujarat, during the monsoon season (June–August) of  

2022 to investigate the relationships among plant growth traits, seed  

yield, and quality parameters in green gram. The study followed  

a Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 10 treatments,  

each duplicated thrice within plots measuring 3 × 3 square feet.  

The treatments included nine different magnetic field exposure  

combinations and one untreated control. Correlation coefficient  

analysis revealed that seed yield exhibited correlations ranging  

from moderate to strong, both positive and negative, with various  

growth, yield, and quality parameters during the initial cropping  

cycle. Among the seed quality traits, the rate of sprouting emerged  

as a key determinant, showing significant positive associations  

with leaf size, shoot span, root span, plant length, fresh and dry  

biomass, and carotenoid content.
