Correlation and Path Analysis Study in Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) Genotypes | International ...

The current study of correlation and route analysis in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) genotypes was conducted during the rabi crop, which was sown during the winter season in 2016-17.

The research used randomised block design (RBD) with three replications on 30 genotypes of chilli.Fresh fruit yield per plant was significantly and positively associated with total number of fruits per plant, fruit diameter, fruit pedicel length, fresh fruit weight, dry fruit weight, seed quality, ascorbic acid content, and seed content, according to the phenotypic and genotypic correlation coefficient.Contents of oleoresins, capsanthins, and capsaicins. Anthracnose resistance, the number of primary branches per plant, the number of flowers per axil, and the length of the fruit were all found to be substantially and negatively associated with fresh fruit yield per plant. Different yield and yield contributing traits on fruit diameter, length of fruit, fruits per plant, and fresh weight of fruit showed positive direct effects on Fresh fruit yield per plant in the path coefficient study. These characters play a major role in recombination breeding and indicate that direct selection based on these traits would be rewarded for crop improvement in chilli.
