Path analysis between the characteristics equatorial diameter of the fruits (EDF) (mm), eight of 25 seeds (WS), emergence speed index (ESI), mean emergence time (MTE), Dickson’s quality index (DQI), total leaf area (LA) (\(\hbox {cm}^{2}\)), diameter of seedlings in the basis (DSB) (mm), seedlings height (SH) (cm) and variable fluorescence/maximal fluorescence (\(F_{v}/F_{m}\)). Coefficient of determination (\(\hbox {R}^{2}\)) = 80.57%; residual variable effect (EVR) = 0.4408.
