Correlation coefficient and path analysis were studied using parents (female VRO - 6 and male AOL - 09 – 02), their F1 and F2 generations. Observations were recorded on thirteen yield and its contributing characters. Among them, fruit yield/plant exhibited positive and highly significant correlation with number of fruits/plant, plant height at final harvest, fruit weight, number of branches/plant, fruit girth, number of seeds/fruit, internodal length, and 100 seed weight. Path coefficient analysis revealed that number of fruits/plant, fruit weight, days to first picking, internodal length, 100 seed weight and fruit length recorded positive direct effect on fruit yield/plant.
