Significant differences were observed among the genotypes for all the traits, indicated presence of sufficient variation. The estimates of PCV and GCV were high for first fruit producing node. Moderate PCV and GCV were noticed for days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height, fruit yield per plant, fruits per plant, nodes per plant and internodal length. High heritability along with high genetic advance were observed for days to 50 per cent flowering, fruit yield per plant, fruits per plant and nodes per plant indicating the role of additive gene action for their inheritance indicating these characters could be improved through direct selection. |
