ABSTRACT
The present investigation was carried out during rabi, in the year 2016-17. Thirty (30) genotypes of Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) were studied for Nineteen (19) traits using Randomized Block Design with three replications. There are significant differences were observed among the genotypes, except number of flowers per axil. However, the maximum fruit length was recorded in IC-255944 (13.26 cm), maximum total number of fruits per plant was recorded in IC-255916 (110.0) and LCA-625 (110.0), maximum fresh fruit yield per plant was recorded in Warangal Chapata (600.00 g) followed by Devanur Deluxe (409.33) were recorded in these traits. The maximum seed content was recorded in Warangal Chapata (59.00%) and minimum was recorded in IC-214965 (46.33 %). Maximum capsanthin content (ASTA) was recorded in AVPP0514 (287.67) followed by NIC- 19967 (274.00), and minimum capsanthin content were recorded in IC-214965 (181.33). Among the genotypes evaluated in Southern Telangana conditions, four (4) genotypes, such as Warangal Chapata, LCA-625, AVPP0514 and IC-255916 of Chilli were found to be promising based on yield and yield attributes of fruit quality. Hence, they may be used in future breeding programme for multi traits importance.
Key words: Genotypes, Capsicum annuum, Southern Telangana, Yield and Yield Attributes.
