Abstract
The fieldexperiment was conducted at Nursery No.
4,Educational Research Farm,Department of Horticulture, College of
Agriculture, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth,
Dapoli (M.S.) during therabi season 2014-15.The Thirteen chilli
genotypes were replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design.
During investigation it was observed thatnumber of branches,
days required for horticultural andphysiological maturity from
pollination and days to first harvest varied non-significantly.
Whereas plant height, number of leaves per plant and plant
spread,all flowering characters, fruiting parameters, yield and yield
attributing characters and chemical parameters varied significantly.
Highest plant height (107.57 cm)was recorded by genotype T
11.
Highest number of branches (9.83) was recorded in genotype T . The
7
maximum number of leaves (881.67) was recorded in genotype
T .The highest plant spread (69.07 cm) was recorded in genotype
6
T .

Genotype T and T took minimumdays(27.67) for initiationof

flowering as well as days to fifty per cent flowering(38.55). Highest

fruit length(7.93 cm) observed in genotype T , whereas fruit diameter

Minimumdays (60 days) for first harvest were recorded by genotypes
T T T T and T . Maximum harvesting span (54 days) was

recorded maximum number of fruits (173.99) per plant. Overall
yield/ha (23.43 t) was highest in genotype T .Maximum β –

carotene content was in T (594.00 µg /100 g). Ascorbic acid content

was maximum in T (160.8 mg/100 g). The capsaicincontent in

fruits was maximum in T (0.254 mg/100 g).

On the basis of overall plant growth habit, flowering attributes,
physical parameters, yield and yield attributing characters and
chemical parameters out of 13 genotypes 6 promising genotypes
were selected for further studies. These genotypes were T T T
