Nineteen chilli genotypes were evaluated for yield and yield components during rabi season at Vegetable Improvement Scheme, Central Experimental Station, Wakavali. Among nineteen genotypes Pant-C3 exhibited significantly superior performance with the production of highest green fruit yield per plant (555.63g), green fruit yield per hectare (19.72t), maximum pickings (4.95) over rest of genotypes. As regards to other yield components, genotype Pashighat-7 took maximum days to first harvesting while genotype Karvir Local recorded maximum green fruit weight (6.05g), fruit length (12.40cm), minimum days to first fruit harvest (74.50) and maximum leaf curl disease incidence in the genotype Pashighat-7 (18.90 %), minimum in the genotype ‘Pant-C3’ (5.3 %) and maximum white fly incidence in the genotype ‘Pashighat-7’ (1.38 %) and minimum incidence in the genotypes ‘Pant-C3’(0.35%). Overall performance of the genotypes revealed that the genotype Pant-C3 is the superior genotype for most of the traits studied among the nineteen chilli genotypes.
