The present experiment title “Genetic Variability, Correlation Studies and Path Analysis in Conducted during the kharif season of 2024-2025. Pandhurna It is located in the "Satpura Range of Mountains" southwest. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design. The experimental setup included fourteen genotypes of Chilli, which were arranged in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Analysis of variance indicated that significant differences exist among the genotypes with respect to both quantitative and qualitative characters. Correlation studies revealed that, Days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, days to physiological maturity, days to harvest maturity, days to fruit initiation, plant height (cm), No.of primary branches per plant, No.of secondary branches per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, No.of fruit per plant, no.of seeds per fruit, seed yield per plant (gm), seed yield per plot (kg) had positive significant association, with yield per plant indicating the importance of these traits in selection for yield because of their direct contribution to yield. Maximum positive direct effect was observed for Days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, days to physiological maturity, days to harvest maturity, days to fruit initiation, plant height (cm), No.of primary branches per plant, No.of secondary branches per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, No.of fruit per plant, No.of seeds per fruit, seed yield per plant (gm), seed yield per plot (kg).
