Abstract
Chilli is an important vegetable crop from Solanaceae family.
Due to wide variability, it holds potential for further improvement. The
present investigation on chilli comprised of 5 GMS based females, 8
males, 40 F1 hybrids and check variety ARCH-228. The experiment was
laid out in randomized block design with 3 replications at Main
Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand
Campus, Anand, during kharif-rabi 2005-2006. Heterosis, combining
ability and components of genetic variance were studied for 15
characters viz. days to flower initiation, plant height, number of
primary branches, number of secondary branches, plant width, number
of fruits per plant, average fruit length, average fruit diameter,
average shape index, average fruit weight, green fruit yield per plant,
chlorophyll content, capsaicin content, moisture content and seeds
weight to fruit weight ratio
