The efficiency of a breeding programme depends mainly on the direction and magnitude of the association between yield and its components and also the relative importance of each factor involved in contributing to grain yield. The path analysis provides an effective measure of direct and indirect causes of association and depicts the relative importance of each factor involved in contributing to the final product.

Drip fertigation is known to enhance the growth and productivity of various crops. Since maize is a heavy feeder of nutrients and water, thus, proper management of these resources is the key to successful growth of maize. Keeping this in view, a field experiment was conducted at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, UAS, GKVK, Bangalore, during kharif season of 2012, to study the effect of drip irrigation and fertigation with different levels and sources of fertilizers on productivity and economics of maize.

An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between yield and its components in maize through correlation and path studies. Yield is the foremost consideration in the breeding of any crop. Since yield depends upon many yield contributing characters, it becomes essential to study the contribution of each character to the yield. Correlation is an important parameter in estimating the relative importance of various characters on grain yield.
