Abstract:
A field experiment entitled “Evaluation trial on hybrid chilli genotype under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions (Capsicum annuum L.)” was conducted during 2018-2019 at central research farm, department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The soil of the experimental field was sandy loam in texture. Randomized block design followed here with 20 treatment combinations replicated 3 times. Recommended dose of FYM @ 25 tonnes/ha and fertilizers i.e., Nitrogen @ 100 kg/ha, Phosphorus @ 50 kg/ha and Potassium @ 50 kg/ha were applied. The present investigation on 20 chilli genotypes concluded based on plant growth parameters, yield parameters and quality parameters. The chilli hybrid genotype IET-CHIHYB-3 showed the best response in terms of growth and yield parameters among all chilli hybrids under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions, IET-CHIHYB-6 recorded best in terms of TSS 2.56 ºBrix and ascorbic acid of 153.33 mg/100g under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions.
