To study the genetic divergence of chilli, 48 genotypes were evaluated in Randomized Block Design with two replications at the experimental field of College of Horticulture Bagalkot. The genetic material exhibited wide range of genetic divergence for all the 20 characters investigated. The cluster I constituted maximum number (20) of genotypes, cluster II had 5 genotypes cluster- III, IV and V with 7 genotypes, cluster VI and cluster VII had only one genotype each. Cluster-VI and cluster-V showed maximum inter cluster distance whereas the distance between clusters IV and II was least. Cluster-V had recorded maximum intra-cluster diversity. | Genetic diversity studies in chilli Byadagi Kaddi genotypes
