Screening of some chilli germplasm against yellow mite and thrips in the gangetic plains of West Bengal

Arka Samanta, Koushik Sen, Pratyusa Bakshi and Ajoy Kumar Sahoo

Field experiments on screening of twenty nine chilli germplasm against yellow mite and thrips damage was conducted during rabi seasons of 2012-13 and 2013-14 at Kalyani ‘C’ Block Farm, BCKV, West Bengal. The results on the basis of percent of plant showing visible symptoms revealed that hybrids like 2012/CHYB-11 (15.96%), 2011/CHYB-4 (16.60%), 2013/CHYB-1 (17.60%) and 2012/CHYB-5 (18.00%) were found field tolerant to yellow mite whereas BSS-453 (21.38%), 2011/CHYB-3 (22.53%) and 2012/CHYB-3 (23.54%) were found most moderately field tolerant. The hybrids BSS-453 (18.41%), 2012/CHYB-5 (19.06%) and 2013/CHYB-1(19.46%) were identified as field tolerant to thrips whereas 2012/CHYB-11 (21.59%), 2013/CHYB-4 (22.37%) and 2011/CHYB-4 (22.85%) were recorded as mostly moderately tolerant. The most susceptible hybrid to yellow mite recorded was 2011/CHYB-8 (38.60%) whereas for thrips was 2012/CHYB-10 (37.26%). Chilli hybrid lines 2013/CHYB-1 and 2012/CHYB-5 were found less affected or tolerant against both mites and thrips and could be exploited in the resistance breeding programme.
