An experiment was undertaken to study the performance of 65 chilli genotypes during the rabi (i.e. winter) season 2005-06 and 2006-07. Mean performance revealed significant variation in yield and quality characters among the different genotypes. Maximum green fruit yield was recorded in CA-29 (262.25 g/ plant), which was statistically at par with CA-47 (244.89 g/ plant). Higher yield was also recorded in CA-34 (233.38 g/ plant), CA48 (232.62 g/ plant), CA-30 (230.27 g/ plant) and CA-40 (219.89 g/ plant). Ascorbic acid content in green fruit varied from 74.78 to 168.10 mg/100 g fresh. The highest capsaicin content in green fruit was recorded in CA60 (2.08%) the lowest in CA-55 (0.19%). Highest amount of extractable colour in red ripe fruit was recorded in CA-55 (185.34 ASTA) followed by Utkal Abha (156.31 ASTA).Abstract
