✦ Synopsis

International Center for Agricultural Research in the D r y Areas Plant scientists often assess correlation coefficients to develop a selection strategy for better plant type. They generate data on the desired traits on several genotypes grown in a randomized complete block design. Using the data from such experiments, this paper presents the asymptotic standard error of an estimate of phenotypic correlations coefficient and a test of significance. The method is illustrated using data on chickpea crop.
