Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted during April to September, 2016 at Spices Research Sub-Centre, Faridpur to evaluate the performances of four chilli lines with BARI Morich-2 as check and to select the suitable planting time during rainy season. The experimental field belongs to high land of Low Ganges River Floodplain (AEZ 12) with clay loam in texture. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. Four lines and a variety viz., C0711, C0712, C0713 and C0714 and BARI Morich-2 as check were evaluated with three planting time viz., 01April, 15 April and 30 April. Seedlings of 40 days old were transplanted maintaining of 50cm × 50cm spacing in each case. The crop (Green chilli) was started to harvest from July and completed on August-September, 2016.Among the lines, C0712 emerged as superior in terms of maximum number of fruits/plant (225.7) and weight of fruits/plant (478.6g) and fresh yield (15.43t/ha) while the highest single fruit weight (3.217 g) was found from C0714. The 15 April planting date emerged as best in terms of maximum weighed fruit (2.661g), weight of fruits/ plant (409.3 g), number of fruits/plant (182.5) and fresh yield (12.14 t/ha). The interaction effect showed that lineC0712 transplanted on 15 April gave the heavier fruits/plants (542.2 g) with maximum number of fruits/plant (241.3)and maximum fresh yield (16.73 t/ha). The 15 April planting was ideal for rainy season chilli evaluation and the line C0712 was the most stable performing line with respect to different planting dates.

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Chilli

Objectives:

To identify the suitable chilli line(s) and to find out the optimum planting time of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) grown for rainy season.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted during April to September, 2016 to evaluate the performances of chilli lines grown in rainy season at three planting time. The experimental field belongs to high land of Low Ganges River Floodplain (AEZ 12) with clay loam in texture having 7.6-8.1 soil pH. Four lines and a variety viz., C0711, C0712, C0713, C0714 and BARI Morich-2 as check- were evaluated with three planting time viz., 01 April, 15 April and 30 April. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. The unit plot size was 2.0m × 1.5m. Seedlings of 40 days old were transplanted maintaining 50cm × 50 cm spacing in each case. The land was fertilized with Cowdung-5 t/ ha, N₁₀₀, P₆₆, K₁₀₀ and S₂₀ Kg/ha. Entire quantity of cow dung, P, 1/3 K and S were applied at the time of final land preparation. N and K were applied in three equal splits at 25, 50 and 70 days after transplanting. Five weeding were done at 25, 40, 60, 80 and 100 DAP. To control thrips, tracer @ 0.4 ml/L of water was sprayed five times. The crop (Green chilli) was started to harvest from July and completed on August-September, 2016. The weather data of Faridpur from April to September 2016 are presented. Data on yield and yield contributing characters were processed for combined analysis and analyzed statistically using MSTAT computer program.

Achievement/Findings:

The findings concluded that 15 April (Fresh yield is 12.14 t/ha) was the most suitable time for rainy season chilli evaluation and among the lines C0712 (Fresh yield is 15.43 t/ha) was the most stable performing lines with respect to different planting dates. From interaction effect 15 April with line C0712 gave better result (Fresh yield is 16.73 t/ha) than others. Besides, C0713 and C0714 also gave better performance than check in respect of number of fruits per plant, weight of fruits per plant, fresh yield when transplanting on 15 April.
