The present investigation was conducted with aim to know the genetic variability among the genotypes for quantitative, fruit characters and yield traits. The trials were conducted during two consecutive years and the pooled analysis of data carried out. The present investigation revealed that the analysis of variance showed that mean of squares significantly differs for all the traits due to treatments during both the years and in pooled analysis. The study further indicated that the high GCV and PCV values obtained for characters viz., number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit yield per plant, fruit width, fruit length, average flake weight with seeds and number of flakes per fruit during both the years and in pooled analysis. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was recorded for number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit yield per plant, fruit length, fruit width, fruit maturity, fruit rind thickness, average flake weight with seed, number of flakes per fruit during both the years and In pooled analysis. which indicated the importance of additive gene action for the inheritance of these traits, and further improvement could be brought by phenotypic selection.
