The present study was carried out at the Experimental Farms of the Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, CSKHPKV, Palampur to gather information on Screening of Capsicum annuum L. germplasm for resistance against bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum) in mid hill, sub temperate, humid region of north western Himalayas involving 11 lines and three diverse testers. Lines, testers their 33 cross combinations, along with standard check ‘CH-1’, were evaluated in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications during summer-rainy seasons of 2010 and 2011. Data were recorded on ten plants of each genotype for their reaction to bacterial wilt disease. No genotype was found immune towards bacterial wilt disease. In the present investigation, 13 and 11 cross combinations showed 100 per cent plant survival (resistant) during 2010 and 2011, respectively, while, 15 and 18 cross combinations revealed moderately resistant reaction to bacterial wilt disease. The rest of the crosses were moderately susceptible/susceptible during respective years.
