An experiment was undertaken to study the genetic correlations andpath co-efficients among 30 genotypes/germplasm of chilli with tworeplications at College of Agriculture, Raichur for 12 differentquantitative characters under study. Highly significant correlationwas recorded between fruit yield plant-1 with fruit weight per fruit,and dry matter. However, positive correlation was exhibited withplant height, number of primary branches, number of fruits per plant,fruit length, fruit diameter, number of seeds per fruit, test weight,moisture content, and fruit pericarp thickness. Path coefficient analysisrevealed that the maximum direct effect on fresh fruit yield was exertedby fruit weight per fruit, dry matter and test weight.
