Abstract
Field experiments were conducted during kharif 2009-2010 to identify the most heterotic CMS based hybrids in chilli. The heterosis for dry fruit yield and yield components of 51 F 1 hybrids were derived from crosses between three females (line) and seventeen males (tester) crossed in line x tester fashion. The cross ACA1/LCA334 exhibited significant heterosis over mid parent 493.44% as well as better parent 402.78%. The F 1 hybrid JNA1/BVC-37 registered significant standard heterosis (48.47%) for dry fruit weight plant -1 . The highly significant gca effect revealed that LCA960, BVC37, LCA334, PantC1 and JNA1 were good general combiner among the male and female, respectively. The hybrid JNA1/BVC37 gave the highest yield for dry as well as green fruits along with highly significant sca effects.
