Abstract

The estimates of high heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean were observed for fruit yield per plant (Kg) average fruit weight (kg), node number to first male flower appearance, non-reducing sugars, dry matter content ,node number to first female flower appearance ,number of fruits per plant ,reducing sugar and number of primary branches per plant in Y1, fruit yield per plant (Kg),node number to first male flower appearance, average fruit weight (kg),dry matter content, non-reducing sugars ,node number to first female flower appearance, number of fruits per plant ,number of primary branches per plant and reducing sugar in Y2 while, fruit yield per plant (Kg),node number to first male flower appearance ,average fruit weight (kg), non-reducing sugars ,dry matter content ,node number to first female flower appearance, number of fruits per plant , number of primary branches per plant and reducing sugar in pooled. Moderate heritability coupled with high genetic advance which indicating the additive gene action for these traits and the phenotypic selection could be relied upon.
