4.2.2. Correlation Matrix

The plant breeding correlation matrix is an outstanding method to assess the relationship between two or more variables. For higher genotype selection procedures, considering the correlation matrix can be a scaling measure [65]. In the correlation matrix, DFF displayed a strong positive correlation with FL, while NDVI was correlated negatively, FW and PH showed a moderate positive correlation with YPP (Figure 6). A moderate to positive significant association can be proposed; selection based on these traits can help increase the yield of this crop. More or less similar results were consistent with the study of [28,64,66,67].
