Tne different discriminant functions were calculated in 45 strains of chillies grown in the year 1972. The genetic advance cover straight selection for yield and discriminant functions wore calculated and efficiency over straight soloction worked out. The discriminant function based on single character was less efficient. The best selec- tion Index was obtained when based on the seven characters. The comparision of different discriminant functions revealed that number of branches and fruit thickness are major yield components in chillies.
