The correlation and coefficient analysis were studied in sixteen genotypes in chilli for 16 different qualitative and quantitative characters. Correlation coefficients at genotypic and phenotypic levels indicated that fruit weight per plant was positively and significantly correlated with fruit yield per plot, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, number of primary branches per plant and average fruit weight but negative and significant association was found with days to 50% flowering indicating that early flowering and early picking might be associated with increasing the fruits yield per plant. The remaining character are number of fruits per plant and fruit length, while as highest negative direct effect on fruit yield per plant was exerted by number of branches per plant and pedicel length. Therefore, selection should be practiced for fruit weight, number of fruits per plant and fruit length for direct improvement of fruit yield per plant.
