Eighteen accessions of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum spp.) were evaluated to estimate the variability, heritability, genetic advance, correlation, path coefficients in randomized design with five replications. Highest phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were observed for fruit length and fruit weight High estimates of heritability coupled with high genetic advance were also observed for these characters, indicating that they can be effectively improved through selection. Fruit length found highly significant and positive correlation with fruit weight (r=0.939). The path coefficient reveled that fruit length had high direct positive effect from fruit weight. So selection should be done based fruit length might lead to increase in fruit weight of Capsicum annuum spp.
