Abstract

The purpose of this study was to estimate the genetic parameter from vegetative characters of the F2 population of the Bara x Ungara. The study was conducted in the experimental garden of Unhas, Tamalanrea sub-district, Makassar, South Sulawesi. This experiment was carried out with the concept of observation by planting 100 F2 lines. The vegetative character traits observed consisted of four characteristics, namely, plant height, dichotomous height, and plant habitus. All characters were analyzed by analysis of variance, normality test, skewness, and kurtosis analysis. The results showed that the population of F2 crosses showed all parameters have good genetic parameters and distribution variance. Therefore, all characters need to analysis in-depth, especially for the correlation with the pepper yield
