Vegetative Growth and Yield Performance of Four Chilli (Capsicum frutescens) Cultivars

3 Abstract: Four varieties of Chilli V (Magura), V (Kajoli), V (Vaduria) and V (Bogra Morich) showed wide 1 2 3 4 differences in their genotypic constituents reflected by morphological status. Major characters of growth and yield such as plant height, days to first flower bud initiation, number of flowers/plant, number of fruits/plant, number of fruits/plot, individual fruit weight, fruit length, fruit diameter, yield/plant, yield/plot, dry weight of fruit/plant, number of seed/fruit and Vitamin C content were influenced by cultivars. However, the maximum number of fruits (265.5/plant and 2949.0/plot), yield (291.3 g/plant and 4.6 kg/plant), dry weight of fruit (100.7 g/plant) and Vitamin C (83.1 mg/100 g fruit) was found from V , while minimum from V. 24
