Abstract: The performance study of thirty seven advanced lines of green chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) was carried out for important yield and yield related traits during the kharif season of 2016-2017 at Horticulture Research and Extension Station, Haveri (Devihosur). The data pertaining to yield characters revealed that genotype ST-16 recorded higher yield per plant (939.30 g), followed by ST-33 (879.37 g) and ST-13 (882.27 g). The genotype ST-16 (26.46 kg) recorded significantly higher yield per plot followed by ST-13 (25.18 kg) and ST-33 (24.29 kg). The genotype ST-28 recorded higher plant height (84.46 cm) and plant spread (58.51cm) while genotype ST-37 (4.40) for primary branches and higher number of secondary branches per plant recorded in ST-36 (9.60). The genotype ST-07 has taken minimum number of days (22.50) for first flowering and also days to 50 per cent flowering. Number of fruits per plant recorded maximum in genotype ST-33 (198), fruit length in ST-25 (12.62cm) and fruit diameter in ST-20 (1.59 cm). Whereas maximum fruit weight was recorded in ST-14(7.85 g), lowest stalk length in ST-22 (1.80 cm) of stalk to fruit ratio in ST-01 (0.021).
