Abstract:
In this work a field study was conducted at the Horticulture complex, Maharajpur, Department of Horticulture, JNKVV, Jabalpur (M.P.) during Rabi season in Randomized Block Design with three replications with row and plant spacing was maintained at 60 cm and 50 cm respectively to investigate the most suitable genotype of chilli under agro-climatic region of (Jabalpur) Madhya Pradesh. The present investigation is carried out to study the Growth, Phenological Behaviour and fruit yield, quality parameters in 18 genotypes of chilli which were found significantly. In the experimental material plant height at 30 DAT, 60DAT, 90DAT, 120DAT and 150DAT (days after transplanting) was observed maximum in genotype 2014/CHIVAR-9 (937.22, 60.53, 65.63, 73.43 and 74.21 cm) respectively. The maximum number of branches per plant was recorded in 2014/CHIVAR-6 at harvest stage. In Phenological behaviour of genotype 2014/CHIVAR-8 was found to be earliest (32.00 days) for days to first flowering, Days to 50% flowering (53.33 days). Some desirable physical fruit parameters like fruit behaviour, Fruit shape, fruit colour, were recorded for these genotypes of chilli.
