is an important oil producing crop of India, hence the knowledge about the breeding behaviour of castor and its plant type is very essential for launching efficient breeding technology. The cor-reletion which is primary tool of breeding programme only provides the amount of association of the character while path coefficient gives the relative importance and true picture of the character by partitioning the correlation coefficient into direct and indirect effects which halps directly in selection programme Buch information is lacking in this crop. therefore, the present investigation was undertaken to know the important oil producing components in castor.
