Abstract

Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for 20 different quantitative characters were studied in 69 genotypes of chillies. The study indicated that the moderate to high genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were observed for all the characters, high heritability (broad sense) with high genetic advance as percent mean was observed for most of the characters except plant height.
