Summary:Twenty eight genotypes of niger (Guizotia abyssinica Cass) representing diverse indigenous material were used to study the character association among yield and its components. Genotypic difference significant for yield and its important components, thereby indicating the possibility of improving yield through varietal selection in the existing collection. The achenes yield per plant showed significant positive association with number of capitula per plant, number of achenes per capitulum, 1000 achene weight, number of effective nodes per plant and plant height inter-correlation among different character pairs showing significant positive association were discussed in light of their magnitude at phenothypic and environmental levels and it was inferred that for achieving higher yield, selection shoud be practiced in two cycles
