Investigations on Per se Performance of Chilli Hybrids for Yield and Yield Contributing Traits

The development of chilli hybrids which can offer the great yields and fruit quality is the current research in chilli breeding. Based on mean performance, the evaluated hybrids varied significantly for all the studied traits. On the basis of analysis of variance, significant differences were recorded for all the studied traits. The results from the present investigation on the per se performance of twelve genotypes of chilli revealed that the cross Tejaswini × VNR-145 was found superior in terms of number of fruits per plant and fruit yield per plant followed by Tejaswini × VNR-305 which expressed superior performance for fruit width and fruit yield per plant.
