CHILLIES (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the important condiment crops and are consumed as spices, pickles, salad and in a number of different ways. It is important to develop high yielding strains of chillies through planned breeding programme. In crop improvement, germplasm serves as a valuable source of base population and provides scope for building up of genetic variability heritability and genetic advance will help in ascertaining the real value of the genotypes to select superior ones.
