Residual effects 0.194, direct effects are shown in main diagonal (bold); DFP: days to first picking, HD: harvest duration, FFM: first fruit maturity, HFM: hundred per cent fruit maturity, PH: plant height (cm), NPB: number of primary branches, TEFW: ten edible fruit weight at green stage (g), TDFW: ten dry fruit weight (g), FL: fruit length at green edible stage (cm), FW: fruit width at green edible stage (cm), NSF: number of seeds per fruit, WSF: weight of seeds per fruit (g), NFP: number of fruits per plant, HSW: hundred-seed weight (g), and FYP: fruit yield per plant at green edible stage (g). Significant at 1% level of significance.
