Development of bacterial wilt resistant F1 hybrid(s) in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.)

Abstract

A study on the ‘Development of bacterial wilt resistant F₁ hybrid(s) in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.)’ was conducted at the Department of Olericulture, College of Horticulture, Vellanikkara during May 2015 to March 2016. The investigation was done in three experiments with the objective to develop high yielding bacterial wilt resistant F1 hybrids in chilli and to estimate combining ability and heterosis for yield and yield components.
