An investigation was carried out in JF-55 (Male parent) & Pusa Sawani (Female parent) to find out the effect of emasculation and bud pollination in comparison with emasculation and conventional pollination technique. The Crossing Techniques (CT) were evaluated for the crossing period of seven weeks and analysed for fruit set, seed yield and seed quality characters at weekly intervals. The results revealed that irrespective of the crossing period, bud pollination recorded 6% higher fruit set than conventional pollination. Among the crossing periods, bud pollination and conventional pollination recorded higher fruit set of 88% and 82% respectively at the crossing period of 4th week. The yield attributing characters, seed and seedling quality characters were also higher at the crossing period of 4th week of flowering period.
