Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Vegetable field unit, Arabhavi during, late Kharif 2016. The trial was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two replications. The character association studies revealed that the fruit yield per plant had significant and positive association with plant height at 45 DAS (0.308 and 0.343 respectively), plant height at 60 DAS (0.323 and 0.394 respectively), plant height at 90 DAS (0.493 and 0.226 respectively) and number of fruits per plant (0.865 and 0.710 respectively). While it was negatively and significantly associated with number of branches per plant (-0.256 and -0.184 respectively), days to to flowering (-0.567 and -0.378 respectively), days to fifty per cent flowering (-0.584 and -0.413 respectively) and vitamin C content (-0.364 and-0.261 respectively) at both genotypic and phenotypic level. Narrow differences between the genotypic and phenotypic correlation coefficients were observed for various traits in the present findings. This indicates the lesser influence of the environment in the expression of these traits and presence of strong inherent association among the traits.
