Abstract:
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the genetic advance, heritability, and genetic variability of 26 genotypes for seventeen traits. Fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit length, fruit yield per plot, and TSS all had high phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation. For traits such as plant height, first fruiting node, and fruit yield per hectare, moderate phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were discovered. Low phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were found for traits like fruit weight, number of internodes per plant, days to 50% flowering, leaf area, and days to first harvest. All of the traits under study showed higher heritability estimates. However, traits like plant height, leaf area, IFSB, and fruit length showed high genetic advance as a percentage of the mean.
