Genotypic, phenotypic correlation and path analysis studies in Chilli (Capsicum annuum)

Abstract

Field experiment was conducted at the college of Horticulture, Bidar University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot (Karnataka) to know the genotypic, phenotypic and Path association between ten yield and yield attributing characters in green chilli. Correlation coefficients indicated that fruit yield per plant was significant and positively correlated with number of fruits per plant and number of branches per plant. Incidence of leaf curl showed highly significant and negative correlation with yield per plant at both phenotypic (-0.606) and genotypic (-0.747) leavel.
