Chilli (Capsicum) is in high demand as a vegetable and spice throughout the world. Fruits have wider applications in the food, phytogenic feed, cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical industries. As surge for their uses is increasing, there is a need to develop F1 hybrids to enhance yields with tolerance/ resistance to major threatening diseases. The present investigation was carried out to study the diversity of morphometric, fruit quality and yield traits, and their reaction to chilli leaf curl disease among fourteen CGMS based high yielding F1 hybrids developed at ICAR-IIHR, Bangalore, India. The hybrids Arka Nihira, Arka Yashasvi, H-25, H-26, and Arka Tanvi excelled for the majority of the evaluated traits in terms of yield enhancement. The yield increment potential in these hybrids is attributed to higher morphometric, fruit biometric and physiobiochemcial traits (NDVI and chlorophyll content). In relation to the local check, hybrid Arka Nihira exhibited enhanced green fruit yield by about sixty-two percent. The cluster plot partitioned these hybrids into four primary groups, revealing genetic similarities and differences among the hybrids. Further, character association indicates that the traits such as days to 50 percent flowering, plant spread, fruit girth, and the number of fruits per plant can be leveraged as indirect selection indices for green fruit yield while selecting a commercial hybrid cultivar in chilli breeding programs. As a result, the hybrids Arka Nihira and Arka Tanvi, in particular, have the potential to be commercial cultivars in terms of yield, agronomic characteristics, and leaf curl disease tolerance in shallow basaltic soils of the Deccan plateau of India.
