The F3 generation progenies of the Mundu chilli cross PKM CA 20 x PKM CA 08 were evaluated for various yield-related traits at the Western Farm Experimental site of the Department of Vegetable Science, HC & RI, Periyakulam of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. In accordance with the findings of correlation studies, the genotypic correlation coefficient was wider when compared to the corresponding phenotypic correlation coefficient for every attribute. The dry fruit yield per plant had high significance and positive association with fresh fruit yield per plant, fruit length, capsaicin, oleoresin and proline content at both genotypic and phenotypic levels, indicating that these traits play an important role in governing the yield attributing traits. The path coefficient analysis had represented the positive direct effect of dry fruit yield per plant with fresh fruit yield per plant, thousand seed weight, oleoresin and capsaicin content. The research findings are highlighted upon the positive direct effect on dry fruit yield of the genotypes having the maximum fresh fruit yield per plant, oleoresin, and capsaicin content, which have adequate importance throughout the selection process.
