¹ Tarla Bitkileri Merkez Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürlüğü, Ankara - This research was carried out at the Haymana-İkizce experimental field of Central Research Institute for Field Crops in 2003 with 50 chickpea lines. Correlation coefficient and path analysis were calculated in 12 characters related to single plant yield. Single plant yield was significiant positively correlated with pods per plant (0.841 **), seeds per plant (0.824**) and biological yield (0.609**) but was significiant negatively correlated with days to flowering, first pod height and plant height. The direct effect of 100 seed weight on single plant yield was obtained highest (%50.84), followed by pods per plant (%50.30), and seeds per pod (% 34.55).
