Abstract:
The study was under taken on 64 genotypes of chilli using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two replications. The result on phenotypic and genotypic correlation coefficient revealed that fruit yield per plant was significantly and positively correlated with number of primary branches at 120 DAT, number of secondary branches at 120 DAT, number of fruits per plant, average fruit, fruit length, fruit diameter and length of dry pod both at genotypic and phenotypic level. Path coefficient analysis different yield and yield contributing traits on plant height at 120 DAT, number of primary branches at 120 DAT, number of fruits per plant, and fruit length showed positive direct effect with fruit yield per plant at both level. These characters play a major role in recombination breeding and suggested that direct selection based on these traits will be rewarded for crop improvement of chilli.
