Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance chilli varieties for growth and yield in Prayagraj Agroclimatic condition which was conducted at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Sciences and Technology, Allahabad (U.P.). The experiment consisted of seven chilli varieties i.e., V1 (Surajmukhi F1 Hybrid), V2 (Pusa Sadabahar), V3 (Shanya Hybrid), V4 (Pusa Jwala), V5 (F1 Alpine Hybrid), V6 (Naga Chilli) and V7 (VNR-305 F1 Hybrid) in a randomized block design with three replications. Result revealed that growth and yield characters such as plant height, numbers of branches per plant, days to first flower initiation, number of fruits per plant, weight of fruit,fruit yield per plant and fruit yield (t ha-1) were influenced by varieties. Among the varieties, V1 (Surajmukhi F1 Hybrid) recorded significantly higher plant height, number of branches per plant and days to first flower initiation. However maximum number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant and fruit yield (t ha-1) were recorded with variety V3 (Shanya Hybrid).
