Abstract

The present study was conducted at the College of Horticulture and Forestry, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya during the rainy season of 2022-23. Plant material consisted of 40 genotypes of chilli including 1 check namely Kashi Anmol in randomized block design of 3x1.8m2 with three replications. Evaluation was done for different yield and quality traits. Among the test entries, range for marketable yield per plant varied from 134.67 to 692 and it was highest in NDC-21-8 followed by NDC-21-1, NDC-21-13, NDC-20-5 and other 14 more performed better over the checks and lowest in (NDC-20-10) (134.67 g/plant). Number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit weight.
