Screening on yield and yield attributes of seven hybrid varieties of chilli under bundelkhand agro-climatic zone (VII)

Abstract

An experiment entitled “Screening on yield and quality attributes of seven variety of chilli under bundelkhand Agro-climatic zone (VII)” was conducted at Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Tikamgarh during Kharif season at 2015-16 to evaluate the hybrids of chilli yield. The experimental was laid out in the randomized block design with three replications. Varieties- V1–Alankar, V2–Natasha-727, V3–Madhurima-148, V4–Classica-152, V5–Prajwala, V6–Divyajyoti, and V7–Sonaskhi-44. Results obtained in the present investigation revealed that, the highest Plant height at 50% flowering (36.23cm), Fruit length (10.60cm), Fruit diameter (4.22cm), Number of seed fruit-1 (91.33), Test weight of 1000 seeds (9.29g), Fruit yield plant-1 (1.14 kg), yield plot-1 (44.42 kg) and Fruit yield ha-1 (281.0 qt). Conclude that Prajwala performed the best with respect to productivity under the agro-climatic conditions of Bundelkhand (Tikamgarh) region.
