Abstract: Eleven genotypes of white jute were grown in 1997, 1998 and 1999 to study the genotypic and phenotypic variances, correlations and path coefficients for plant height, base diameter, fresh weight, stick weight, number of pod per plant, number of seed per pod, 1000 seed weight, seed yield per plant and fibre yield per plant. Highly significant differences were observed among the genotypes for all the characters. Substantial amounts of genotypic variance were also obtained for all characters. Fibre yield per plant was significantly and positively correlated with plant height, base diameter, fresh weight and stick weight. Path coefficient analysis revealed maximum contribution of plant height to fibre yield per plant and this was followed by the contribution of base diameter.
