Selection Criteria in Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.)

Abstract

The present study was made on a group of 50 varieties of chilli. The different discriminant functions were constructed. The genetic advance over straight selection for yield and different discriminant functions were calculated and the efficiencies over straight selection were compared. The study revealed that number of fruits per plant and number of branches per plant are the important characters that should be taken care for selection in hybridization programme.
