Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted to assess the morphological characters and yield potentialities of cultivars of chilli viz., Bogra city, Patnai, Baromorich, Santaka and Balujury. The cultivar Baromorich was found to produce the highest yield followed by Bogracity and Patnai, while Balujury gave the lowest yield. The cultivars of chilli differed widely in plant and fruit characteristics. Baromorich produced plants of highest number of primary branches with a bigger canopy. The cultivar also recorded highest number of fruits per plant which were fairly big in size. Balujury was found to be inferior in producing more branches and bigger canopy having the least number of fruits per plant.

Keywords: Morphological characters, Yield, Cultivars, Chilli

Location: Horticultural Farm, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh

Start Date: 00-10-1978

End Date: 00-04-1979

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Chilli

Objectives:

To find out a high yielding cultivar from the existing as well as introduced cuItivars of chilli.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Farm of the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from October, 1978 to April, 1979. There were altogether five cultivars of which four were selected from local promising ones, viz., Bogracity, Patnai, Baromorich and Balujury and one cultivar recently introduced from Japan named as Sautaka. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with four replications. There were 20 unit plots each measuring 2.5m x 1.8m. Seedlings of 30 days old were transplanted on 18th November, 1978 at a spacing of 60.96cm x 45.72cm. Manures and fertilizers were applied at the rate of 9.2 tons of cowdung, 276.0 kg (If mustard oilcake, 46.0kg of urea, 138.0kg of triple super phosphate and 23.0kg of muriate of potash per hectare. Urea was used as side dressing in two installments at 41 and 82 days after transplanting. The red ripe fruits were harvested and it started on 5th February, 1979 and cornpleted on 10th April, 1979. Data were recorded on different plant and fruit characteristics and those were analyzed statistically.
