Path analysis studies were carried out among twelve genotypes of marigold for twenty quality and yield attributing traits contributing towards total flower yield. The present study was conducted at Botanical Garden. Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur, Bihar, India during winter season, 2021-22. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The results revealed that path coefficient result revealed that characters like number of flowers per plant (0.716, 0.715), number of leaves per plant (0.856, 0.858) and average fresh weight of flower (0.708, 0.708) showed direct positive effect towards flower yield per plant at both phenotypic and genotypic level, respectively through which the selection of superior marigold genotypes may be obtained.
