Abstract

An experiment was conducted during 1991-92 to study the effect of inbreeding uSing 3 populations (selfed, openand sibbed) of 3 land races ('Early' Red', 'Ghazipur','Kali Dandi'). Opinm poppy (papaver somniferum L.) is selfpollinated 'crop with varied degree of out crossing. Differences due to varieties and mode of pollination were significantbut no interaction was found between varieties and mode of pollination. 'Ghazipur' and 'Early Red' showedsignificant inbreeding on selfing for seed yield and opium yield while 'Kali Dandi' had no inbreeding for seed yieldand very low non-significant for opium yield. The yield of sibbed population of each variety was at par to openpollinated population with higher magnitude in 'Kali Dandi'.
