Abstract : The estimates of variability viz. coefficients of variability (phenotypic and genotypic), heritability (in broad sense) and genetic advance as percent of mean (genetic gain) were worked out for selection of various characters. The phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variability were high for incidence of fruit rot, incidence of fruit borer, number of marketable fruits per plant, fruit weight, yield per plant, yield per plot, yield per hectare, fruit length, number of branches per plant and fruit breadth. The high estimates of heritability (broad sense) were found for all the characters studied viz. incidence of fruit borer (99.39%), incidence of fruit rot (99.23%), ascorbic acid content (97.39%), plant height (96.83%), number of branches per plant (96.65%), number of marketable fruits per plant (96.44%), fruit breadth (94.80%), fruit length (94.42%), fruit weight (93.75%), total harvest duration (90.43%), total soluble solids (90.33%), days to 50 percent flowering (85.10%), days to first harvest (84.82%), yield per plant (83.87%), yield per plot (84.72%), yield per hectare (84.72%).

(2021-May-20). Genetic studies in terms of correlation and path coefficients analysis were studied for twelve horticulture traits in fifty diverse genotypes of brinjal. the results indicated that yield per plant had significant positive association with number of m. retrieved from https://www.openacessjournal.com/abstract/729
