Abstract
Three lines (1705, 1711, 1720) and one check variety (Poinset 76) were evaluated for their horticultural, fruit, and yield characteristics and their reaction to pests and diseases.
Line 1720 had the highest percentage germination and was the earliest to germinate. It al,so had the highest percentage of female flowers and was the most resistant to downy mildew. Lines 1705 and 1711 were moderately resistant while Poinset 76 was susceptible.
Line 1711 had the fastest rate of fruit enlargement while line 1720 was the fastest in fruit elongation. Line 1720 also had the lowest bitterness rating and Poinset 76 the highest.
The earliest to mature, line also gave the highest yield both in terms of the number and weight of marketable fruits. Line 1705 was the lowest yielder..
