Hybrid vigour is a direct property of heterozygosity and is due to superior gene content possible in a hybrid contributed by both the parents. Hybrid vigour, the phenomenon of heterosis, is the basis for improvement in crop yields achieved during 20th century in many crops. In this study, ten lines and four testers and their 40 F1 hybrids in a Line x Tester cross system, were used to estimate heterosis percentage on check hybridand observations on quantitative and qualitative traits were recorded. Considering all the cross combinations individually, the hybrid combinations that out fielded their parents for maximum number of components of merit were L8 x T1 (CA 116 x AVRDC 1127), L9 x T4 (ArkaLohit x Capsicum frutescens), L6 x T1 (KashiAnmol x AVRDC 1127) and L8 x T4 (CA 116 x Capsicum frutescens). Further, it was also found that the hybrid L1 x T2 (EC 739328 x AVPP 0716) and L6 x T4(KashiAnmol x Capsicum frutescens) were adjudged as the best crosses based on their high scores for earliness and L8 x T1 (CA 116 x AVRDC 1127) and L9 x T4 (ArkaLohit x Capsicum frutescens) were adjudged as the best crosses based on their high scores for quantitative and qualitative characters.
