Abstract
The aim of the paper was to present results of comparative studies on evaluation of grain yield determination of winter triticale by its multiplicative components (number of ears per unit area, average number of grains per ear and average grain weight) when using sequential yield components analysis (SYCA) and single path analysis. In the studies, data were used from a 28 factorial experiment. The results of the investigation confirm and illustrate a better agreement between estimates of path coefficients, as measures of influence of the yield-related traits on yield, for the components forming in more advanced stages of ontogenesis. Such an empirically confirmed, close agreement of effects of yield components on yield, found when using the both methods, may not repeat in cases when the yield-related traits are stronger correlated. In the presented example the yield components were weakly correlated.
