Abstract
The experiment was conducted during 2022-23 at the vegetable Research Field of Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The observations were recorded on various growth, yield and quality contributing characters. The results from the present investigation revealed that on the basis of mean performance of eighteen hybrids of Chilli, hybrids 20CHIHYB4 (50.03 q/ha) and 21CHIHYB3 (49.47 q/ha) were found superior in terms of Fruit yield (q/ha). On the basis of Analysis of variance significant difference was recorded for all the quantitative and qualitative traits indicating presence of large amount of variability in the hybrids. The maximum gross return, net return and Benefit cost ratio Rs. 101260.00, Rs. 41260.00 and 1.6 respectively were recorded in hybrid 20CHIHYB4.
