Abstract


In an evaluation of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) germplasm with ninety three genotypes for yield and resistance to anthracnose disease it was found that there were significant differences for all the traits studied, indicating large amount of diversity among them. Based on the evaluation three resistant donors Sin 1, Sin 2 and Sin 3 and five moderately resistant lines Arka Lohit, CC 4, KDC 1, Pepper Hot and Ujwala were chosen as potential parents to synthesise F1 hybrids with lesser anthracnose incidence and reasonably good fruit yield
