Abstract
Concerning the low yield potentiality of chilli in Bangladesh, an experiment was conducted at Horticulture farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh to study the morpho-physiological and yield performance of four chilli lines (coded from L1 to L4) during November 2013 to May 2014. Maximum number of flowers (49.8/plant), number of fruits (33.0/plant), length of individual fruits (7.5 cm) and number of seeds (69.0/fruit) was found from L2, whereas maximum fresh weight of 50-fruits (65.4 g), dry weight of 50-fruits (17.7 g), fruit diameter (0.7 cm) and total yield (149.2 g/plant and 947.3 g/plot) was found from L3. Maximum chlorophyll content (57.7%), CO2 references (383.5 vpm), H2O references as partial pressure (30.7 µmolm-2s-1) and Vitamin-C (80.5 mg/100 g fruit) was found from L1, while maximum photosynthetic rate (5.3 µmolm-2s-1), and P.A.R incident on leaf surface (252.3 µmolm-2s-1) was recorded from L3.
Key words: Chilli cultivars, morpho-physiological and chilli yield
