dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Genetic assessment of capsicum (Capsicum annuum L.) under protected conditions” was conducted during 2015-16 at the Experimental Research Farm of Department of Vegetable Science and Precision Farming Development Center, Department of Soil Science and Water Management of Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan. During 2015, seeds of 8 lines and 2 testers were transplanted in open field during May, 2015. During first year, each tester was crossed with each line while each parent was selfed and the seeds extracted manually for raising population in the subsequent year. During the next year (2016), 16 cross combinations along with their 10 parents were transplanted during the month of March, 2016 in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) replicated thrice inside polyhouse of 250 square meter. Data was recorded for different observations. Hybrids UHF-14 x Solan Bharpur, UHF-11 x Solan Bharpur, UHF-14 x California Wonder performed better over the estimates of heterosis for better parent for majority of traits under study. On the basis of GCA studies, the parents viz., UHF-11, UHF-6, UHF-14 and UHF-10 were found good general combiners for majority of yield and yield contributing traits. Overall SCA performance showed that, the cross combinations UHF-8 x California Wonder, UHF-10 x California Wonder, UHF-11 x Solan Bharpur and UHF-6 x Solan Bharpur were found as best hybrids for majority of yield and yield contributing traits under protected conditions. For all the traits studied, there was preponderance of non-additive gene action except for fruit shape index and plant height (cm) which reaffirms the importance of hybrids in bell pepper. Proportion contribution of lines, testers and lines x tester’s interactions, revealed that the variability among the crosses was mainly due to higher contribution of lines as compared to individual contribution of lines and line x tester interactions.en_US
