Abstract


Investigations were carried out to study the varietal characterization of chilli varieties, CCH 1 hybrid and its parents through chemical tests with seeds. Potassium hydroxide and ferrous sulphate solutions were found to be useful for identification of female parent (Sln 1) of CCH 1 chilli hybrid and sodium hydroxide test was useful to differentiate PKM 1 chilli genotype.These chemical tests were first of its kind used in identifying chilli seed.
