 ABSTRACT

Genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance and genetic advance as a percent over mean for fifteen characters were assessed by field evaluation of fifty chilli accessions at College of Horticulture, Bagalkot (Karnataka) during 2010-11. High degree of variation was observed for all characters. The difference between phenotypic coefficient of variation and genotypic coefficient of variation were found to be narrow for most of the traits. The high estimates of heritability was found for plant spread (N-S) at 60 days (64.27%) and 120 day (65.47%) and (E-W) at 60 days (60.56%), number of fruits per plant at first picking (98.20%) and early yield (94.67%).

Key words: Green chilli, early yield, Genetic advance, heritability, genotypic variance,  phenotypic variance.
