Abstract:
An experiment was carried out at the western farm of Department of Vegetable Science Horticultural College and Research Institute, TNAU, Periyakulam to study the Genetic Variability, Heritability and Genetic Advance in F2 population of Mundu Chilli. In this study four F2 populations derived from the F1 crosses viz., PKM CA 20 X PKM CA 08 (C1), PKM CA 32 X PKM CA 33 (C2), PKM CA 32 X PKM CA 20 (C3), PKM CA 38 X PKM CA 33 (C4) were tested. Among the four F2 crosses studied the PKM CA 32 X PKM CA 33 and PKM CA 38 X PKM CA 33 showed high PCV, GCV, high heritability estimates and high genetic advance of per cent of mean for plant height, fruit length, single fresh fruit weight,single dry fruit weight, ripened fruit yield per plant and dry fruit yield per plant.
