Abstract

Character association and path analysis in fifty genetically diverse indigenous and exotic genotypes of chilli was studied for 16 important characters. The phenotypic and genotypic association of fruit yield was significantly positive with all the characters except days to first flowering and ten fruit weight. Early fruit yield and late fruit yield per plant were found highly significant and positive correlation with total fruit yield. The genotypic path co-efficient analysis revealed that ascorbic acid and chlorophyll content had high direct positive effect on total fruit yield.

Abstract

An investigation was carried out at College of Horticulture, University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot during summer 2011 to analyze the variability and heritability in 67 cluster bean genotypes for vegetable pod yield and its growth and yield parameters. All the characters showed highly significant (at P=0.01) difference. Maximum range of variability was observed for ten fresh pod weight (g), number of branches at 90 DAS and number of dry pod per plant (dual purpose type). High heritability coupled with high genetic advance over mean was observed for number of branches at 90 DAS, pod length (cm), and ten fresh pod weight (g). The results of present investigation suggested that selection based on number of dry pod per plant, fresh pod weight, pod length and number of branches at 90 DAS might bring improvement in vegetable pod yield of cluster bean and its growth and yield components characters.
