Manjunath S. Patil and Praveen Mahendrakar

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted with 42 chilli genotypes and for their growth and yield potential to identify a superior variety for commercial cultivation. Matured dry chilli yield varied from 14.69 quintals per hectare to 43.50 quintals per hectare. HCH-9646 emerged as superior high yielding with dry chilli yield potential of 43.50 quintals per hectare followed by DCA-131 (39.39 q/ha).
