COMBINING ABILITY ANALYSIS FOR FRUIT YIELD, CAPSAICIN AND OTHER QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN CHILLIES (CAPSICUM ANNUM L.) OVER ENVIRONMENTS

Published on Jul 27, 2018 03:26 AM

Ten parents and their 45 FI's of chillies from a half diallel cross were evaluated for
fruit yield and its components over three environments. Highly significant variation
was observed due to genotypes and environments for aq the ten traits studied. The
genotype x environment interactio(\s were significant for all the characters except days
to initiation of flowering. The genotypes Pant C-1, Arka lohit, RHRC 16-5 and X-235
were found to be good general combiners and 15 crosses have been identified as
specific combiners for fruit yield and other related traits.

Keywords: Capsicum annum 1., general combining ability, specific combining ability, genotype x environment interaction
