Author(s): Vishvkarma D, Singh VK and Shankhwar B
Abstract: Present investigation entitled “Structural and Functional Parameters for Screening of Different Chilli Varieties†were carried out in Kharif season during the 2015-16. Tikamgarh district lies in the Bundelkhand Zone (Agro-climatic Zone –Vlll). It is situated in the north-easter part of Madhya Pradesh at 240 43’ North latitude and 780 49’ East longitudes at an altitude of 358 meter mean sea level. It has sub-tropical climate characterized by hot dry summers and cool dry winter. The soil of the experiment field was clay loam in texture. It was medium in organic matter and had good water holding capacity with pH ranging from 6.9. The experimental was laid out in the randomized block design with three replications. Varieties- V1–Pusa Jwala, V2–Pusa Sadabahar, V3–JM-218, V4–JM-283, V5–Sonakshi-44, V6–Divyajyoti, V7–Classica-152, V8–Natasha-727, V9–Suryamukhi and V10–prajwala. Observations recorded for yield and quality parameters. Results obtained in the present investigation revealed that, the highest Fruit length (11.47cm), Fruit girth (2.02cm), Fresh weight of ten fruit-1 (53.55g), Number of fruit plant-1 (62.63), Number of seed fruit-1 (91.34), Test weight of 1000 seeds (9.24), Fruit yield plant-1 (786g) and Fruit yield ha-1 (291qt). Conclude that Prajwala performed the best with respect to productivity under the agro-climatic conditions of Bundelkhand (Tikamgarh) region.
