HETEROSIS STUDIES FOR QUALITY TRAITS IN BELL PEPPER (Capsicum annuum L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 18
Abstract
This experiment was conducted to assess the possibilities of different cross combinations originated from crossing 6 bell pepper varieties in complete diallel pattern to obtain 30 F1 hybrids. All the hybrids along with parents and a commercial check were evaluated during rabi 2015-16 for different quality traits. Results indicated that the Arka Mohini × Yolo Wonder (31.23 %) showed significant positive heterosis over commercial check for fruit length and Arka Mohinni × Solan Bharpur (20.81%) for fruit width. California Wonder × Yelavigi collection (21.21%) for number of locules per fruit, California Wonder × Arka Mohini (5.44%) for pericarp thickness, Yolo Wonder × California Wonder (11.57) for ascorbic acid content, California Wonder × Tarihal Local (49.12) for shelf life of the fruit. These cross combinations can be further exploited for improvement in bell pepper quality.
