Abstract:
The mean, range, phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV), Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV), heritability, genetic advance and genetic advance as per cent of mean were worked for the selection superior crosses in the F₂ generation. The phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation were high for the characters like number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant, little leaf incidence (%) and shoot and fruit borer infestation (%). The heritability (broadsense) were found high for the characters studied i.e., plant height (96.82%), days to 50% flowering(99.81%), fruit length(99.81%), number of fruits per plant(66.20%), fruit yield per plant (96.81%), days to final harvesting(74.80%), little leaf incidence (74.59%) and shoot and fruit borer infestation(91.32%). The genetic advance was high for days to final harvesting (21.42%) and the genetic advance as per cent of mean were high for the characters like days to 50% flowering(25.50%), fruit length(23.71%), number of fruits per plant(23.66%), fruit yield per plant(59.67%), little leaf incidence (32.20%) and shoot and fruit borer infestation(45.08%).
