Character Association and Path Analysis Studies for Yield and Yield Attributes in Industrially Valued Elite Dry Chilli (capsicum Annuum L.) Genotypes
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The correlation and path co-efficient analysis for growth and yield traits in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) was studied in 20 genotypes of chilli including 5 new mutants for 13 different growth and yield characters at Horticultural Research and Extension Centre, Haveri (Devihosur) during kharif 2020-21.Correlation provides information on nature and extent of relationship among the characters.The computation of correlation coefficient at genotypic level revealed that significant and positive correlation between dry fruit yield per plant with all the characters except days to first flowering, days to red fruit harvest and fruit width.Path-coefficient analysis of different characters contributing towards dry yield per plant had significant positive direct effect via plant height, plant spread, plant branches, number of fruits per plant, fruit length and green fruit yield.
