            Chilli parental varieties along with inter-and intra-specific cross varieties under 3 most popular chilli species (Capsicum annuum L.,Capsicum chinense Jacq.,Capsicum frutescens L.) at the research farm of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Directorate of Research, Kalyani, West Bengal. India were evaluated to study genetic variation and the relationship between yield and its component using a randomized complete block design during 2009-2011. There were significant variances among genotype of all traits. The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) for all the characters of chilli varieties were greater than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV), which emphasized the presence of environmental influence to some degree in the phenotypic expression of characters. Number of fruit(s)/plant had the highest PCV (119.97) and GCV (118.99). The findings imply that the narrow sense heritability (h2) was observed to be inferior to those of broad sense heritability (H2) for all the characters of chilli varieties. Genetic advance was observed for plant height (86.23), whereas genetic advance as percent of mean was highest for dry fruit weight (84.09). Greater heritability (h2) was linked with greater genetic advance (86.23) calculated for plant height, which suggested that the character is controlled by additive genes and therefore further advancement could conducted by selection. Fruit yield was significantly associated with most of the characters of chilli varieties at both genotypic and phenotypic levels; therefore, these are fundamental requirement to prepare a successful crop improvement program.
