Two years research was carried out to find out the suitable planting time for hybrid seed production in Gilgit. Four female TPS parents viz., Atzimba, LT-8, MF-I and MF-II and one male parent TPS-67 were planted in three planting dates. Number of inflorescence per plant and number of flowers per inflorescence were more in TPS lines Atzimba and LT-8 planted at first and second planting dates. Similarly, flower initiation was earlier in Atzimba and LT-8 at second planting date than the first and third planting date, whereas flowering initiation in MF-I, MF-II and TPS-67 was not affected by different planting dates. More number of berries per plant was produced by Atzimba and LT-8. MF-I and MF-II produced lower number of berries per plant. Atzimba and MF-II produced more number of seeds per berry at planting date first and second whereas, LT-8 produced maximum number of seeds at planting date first. Atzimba produced higher 1000-seed weight at second planting date whereas; remaining TPS parents produced higher number of 1000-seed weight at first planting date.
