Abstract
This yield evaluation research was done to evaluate and select new potential chili pepper line created by the Plant Breeding Program in the
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture of Bogor Agricultural University. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the variability
and yield of 17 new lines compared to three commercial varieties, and calculate estimated character broad sense heritability values. This research
was done from November 2011 until May 2012 in Plant Breeding Laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, Bogor Agricultural
University IPB and Leuwikopo Experimental Station, Dramaga 6
o
56’34’’S, 106

72’56’’E. The genetic materials used in this research were 17 open pollinated chili pepper lines and three commercial varieties. This
research was arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Result showed that genotype had a very significant influence
in almost all character, except for the variable of total marketable fruit weight per plant and fruit length. There were new chili pepper lines that had
higher yield than the compared commercial varieties, which are Pesona I-1, Pesona I-2, IPB 110005-91-17-3, IPB 120005-1-1-17, IPB 120005-5-11-2,
IPB 009019-3-4-10 and IPB 110005-91-13- 4. The high estimated broad sense heritability value was found in all the observed quantitative characters.
There are characters that had positive and significant correlation with chili pepper plant height, fruit length, fruit weight, fruit weight per plant, fruit
per plant and potential productivity. Keywords
