Abstract

Abstract Ornamental chilies have attractive and varied shapes and fruit colors, so they are liked by consumers. However, ornamental chili plants are susceptible to disease, especially anthracnose. One control that can be done is by assembling resistant cultivars. Resistant cultivars can be determined by estimating genetic parameters to obtain selection characters for resistance to anthracnose disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the genetic parameters of anthracnose disease resistance in several genotypes of ornamental chili plants. This study used a non-factorial randomized block design with four chili genotypes, namely Ayesha, Nazla, Violetta and Syakira, each of which was repeated three times. The results showed that heritability values with high criteria were found in the parameters of fruit length, fruit diameter, weight per fruit, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight per plant, productivity, incidence of ripe chili disease and disease intensity of ripe chili.
