Path diagram showing the direct effect of the 6 explanatory variables on seed cotton yield examined for parents, testers and F1 crosses that evaluated over two seasons of 2016 and 2017. Bidirectional arrows show correlation between the variables, and unidirectional arrows indicate a direct effect on the direction of the arrow, blue and red arrows represent positive and negative effects. Solid arrows indicate P < 0.05 and dashed arrows indicate P > 0.05. LCY, lint cotton yield; SCY, seed cotton yield; SI, seed index; BW, boll weight; NoBP, number of bolls per plant; L, lint percentage
