Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the influence of different levels of calcium nitrate foliar application on quality attributes, flower drop and yield of Byadgi chilli in farmer’s field Dharwad Karnataka India. The experiment was laid out in RCBD design with 12 treatments and 3 replications. Result showed that treatment which received three foliar sprays of 1.5 per cent Ca (NO3)2 recorded significantly highest colour value (280.22 ASTA units), oleoresin content of 20.39 per cent, dry fruit yield of 21.76 q ha-1 and lowest flower drop 10.02 per cent with three foliar sprays of 1.5 per cent Ca(NO3)2. Control recorded lowest color value and yield and highest flower drop which did not received any foliar spray of Ca (NO3)2. The experiment revealed that 1.5 per cent concentration is more superior in improving the yield and quality of Byadgi chillies over 1.0 per cent concentration.
