The goal of the current study was to identify the most effective selection criteria for increasing rapeseed production (Brassica rapa L.). In order to assess the means and path analysis for yield and quality components, thirty F1 crosses, thirteen parents, and one check cultivar of Brassica rapa were sown at the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, in the years 2021–2022. The path coefficient showed that the number of seeds/plants, 100 seed weight, days to 50% flowering, days to 50% maturity, and seeds/silique all directly and positively correlated with the amount of seeds produced per plant. For every character, the genotypes were found to be considerably varied. The number of primary branches per plant, the number of siliquae per plant, and the length of the siliqua were shown to be the traits that contributed most to the seed yield per plant in the path co-efficient analysis. These qualities could be selected for in a future hybridization programme.
