The performance of twenty chilli hybrids were studied for quality characteristics using Randomized Block Design with three replications.The hybrids showed significant differences for all the characters studied. The maximum chlorophyll content were found in the fruits of Arka Harita (2.40 mg/g). Ascorbic acid (212.58 mg/100 g) was observed highest in CO (Ch)-1. Total soluble solids of 6.67 °B was registered in Arka Gagan and CHT-202 which was highest among all the hybrids. The hybrid H-43 had maximum pungency of 1.23 per cent. Reducing, non-reducing and total sugars were found maximum in the hybrid CHT-188 (2.09 %, 2.87 % and 4.96 %, respectively). The differences among the hybrids for quality characteristics is mainly attributed to the genetic makeup of the individual hybrid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
