Abstract : Data derived from genetic variance, correlation coefficient and path analyses are tabulated for yield components and fruit quality and growth characters measured in a study of 40 varieties. A high genotypic coefficient of variation was found for fruit weight, fruit volume and contents of ascorbic acid and reducing sugars. Heritability was high for contents of ascorbic acid and reducing sugars, pH, fruit weight and fruit volume. Plant spread north-south and east-west had positive indirect effects on fruit number and size.
