Seventeen hot pepper characters studied manifested higher level of GCV except for seed germination (16.47 %) and seedling dry weight (13.12 %) manifested moderate level of GCV. Phenotypic Co-efficient of Variation (PCV) for germination (16.79%) and seedling dry weight (13.12%) manifested moderate level of PCV. Significant positive correlation was recorded with germination while electrical conductivity (-0.8125), fresh ungerminated seeds (-0.8890), capsaicin (-0.7482) showed significant negative correlation with seed germination. Path coefficient analysis revealed that, at phenotypic level, seedling length (0.7297) recorded the highest positive direct effect on vigour index I, followed by germination per cent (0.3452) which were of considerable magnitude. Number of seed fruit-1 (-0.1266), electrical conductivity (-0.0627), total dehydrogenase activity (-0.0312), vigour index II (-0.0339) and ASTA color value (-0.0872) recorded the negative direct effect on fruit rot disease incidence on ripe fruits.
