Abstract

High phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation in yield per plot, yield in quintals per hectare and number of fruits indicated the existence of variability for selection based on these characters. High heritability and high genetic advance in yield in quintals per hectare, yield per plot and number of fruits indicated that the selection can be made for improvement. Highly significant positive correlation between yield in quintals per hectare with yield per plot and number of fruits was evident.
