Abstract

                                Thirty cultivars of peppers were considered for estimation of simple. partial and multiple correlations for yield and yield components. Significant and positive correlations were found between yield and fruit size, plant height and negative with days to flower. The association of truir size was significant and positive with plant height and negative with days to flower. Partial correlation studies indicated that fruit size, plant height and dura- tion of availability of green fruits have more effect on fruit yield than the days to flower and capsaicin content.
