Title: Combining ability and heritability analysis for yield and yield contributing characters in chilli (Capsicum annuum. L)
Abstract: The present investigation was undertaken in half diallel fashion excluding reciprocals during Kharif and summer seasons 2010 -2012.The hybrids differed significantly for all the characters under investigation. The general combining ability (GCA) was significant for all traits studied. Significant specific combining ability (SCA) was also observed for all variables except days to 50% flowering in Kharif season. Both additive and non additive effects influenced the performance of hybrids. The non-additive effects played important role than additive effects. The parents P1, P2 and P8 were found as the reliable general combiners for most of the traits studied.
