Information regarding the character association is of great importance in simultaneous selection of traits for any breeding programs. However, quantification and interpretation of the correlations magnitude do not provide information on direct and indirect effects. In this context, the path analysis is considered as an alternative and viable tool for the selection process. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the phenotypic correlations between ten major horticultural traits in King chilli (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) lines and its consequences in direct and indirect effects by path analysis. | Study on character association and path analysis in king chilli Capsicum chinense Jacq.
