Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out at Vegetable Experimental Field, Division of Vegetable Science, SKUAST-Kashmir Shalimar, KVK Pulwama and KVK Budgam during kharif 2021-22. During the study a comparative performance of seventy-eight chilli genotypes (parents and crosses) were evaluated for maturity, yield attributing and quality traits with the purpose of identifying genotypes with high yielding ability, better quality and significant variation were found among the genotypes for the traits studied. Mean performance of parents and crosses for maturity, yield and quality traits depicted the existence of sufficient amount of variation in the given set of genotypes thereby indicating a good scope for improvement of the population through various breeding procedures.
