Abstract: The present study was carried out at HRES, Hidkal Dam, Belagavi district, Karnataka during the year 2019-2020, to investigate the character association, direct and indirect effect of pod traits on tree yield among various genotypes of tamarind. The analysis of variance found to be highly significant among genotypes for all the yield parameters. Pod yield per tree (kg/tree) had highly significant and positive correlation with all the characters studied such as pod length, pod width, pod girth, pulp weight, shell weight, seed weight, vein weight, number of seeds, pod weight, pulp per cent and vein per cent except seed per cent and shell per cent. Path analysis studies revealed that seed weight, pod length, number of seeds and vein weight had positive direct effect on pod yield per tree.
