3 Conclusions
Based on correlation and path analysis it is revealed that the number of fruits plant
-1
, fruit girth, fruit weight, green
fruit yield, number of seeds fruit
-1
, days to first flowering, days to final harvest can taken as the most important
characters as selection indices in evaluating the best genotypes towards green fruit and dry fruit yield for future
breeding programme apart from the qualitative characters of capsanthin and capsaicin contents.
