Evaluation of New Genotypes and Commercial Hybrids of Chilli for their Reaction to Thrips and Mites Under Irrigated Ecosystem of Upper Krishna Project Command Area

Abstract

New genotypes and popular commercial hybrid chilli were evaluated in comparison with popular varieties viz., Byadagi Dabbi and Byadagi Kaddi. Among new genotype tested, G10, G 11, G 20, Bejosheetal Savitri, Bejosheetal Garima and Ujala were tolerant to thrips and mites. These genotypes recorded minimum number of thrips and mites per leaf that resulted in lower Leaf Curl Index (LCI), compared to Byadagi Dabbi, Kaddi and Guntur-4 which were susceptible to both the sucking pests under irrigated ecosystem of Upper Krishna Project (UKP) command area.

Keywords: Chilli, Polyphagotarsonemus latus,Scirtothrips dorsalis.
