Abstract
Combining ability analysis in chilli was carried out using line x tester design at the Department of Vegetable Crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. Variances due to gca and sca were highly significant for all the characters but variances due to sca being greater than gca indicated preponderance of non-additive gene actions for all the characters studied. Parental lines CA 192, CA 172, CA 97 and Kashi Anmol were good general combiners, whereas crosses, CA 192 x CA 97 and CA 172 x Kashi Anmol were observed to be most promising hybrid combinations for fruit yield.
