Path analysis model diagram showing causal relationships of measured traits of early yellow testcrosses evaluated across artificial Striga infestation at Mokwa and Abuja, 2014. Bold values are residual effect; values in parenthesis are direct path coefficient and other values are correlation coefficients. R1 is the residual effects; ASI, anthesis–silking interval; DA, days to 50% anthesis; DS, days to 50% silking; EASP, ear aspect; EHT, ear height; EPP, ears per plant; EROT, ear rot; ESP 1 and ESP 2, emerged Striga plants (8 and 10 WAP); HC, husk cover; PLHT, plant height; RL, root lodging; SDR 1 and SDR 2, Striga damage (8 and 10 WAP); SL, stalk lodging and YIELD, grain yield
