5. INTRODUCTION The chilli is a fruit of plants belongs to the family of “ Solanaceae ” & genus of “ Capsicum ”. The chilli is also being termed as “ Chilli Pepper ” in many parts of world. Chilli is one of the most valuable crops of India . The crop is grown largely for its fruits all over the India. It is used in India as a principle ingredient of various curries , and chutneys . Chillies can also be grown successfully in Hydroponic system.

6. Botanical Name - Capsicum Annum L. (Fruits are long or small, but pungency is high.) Capsicum frutescence L. (Large and inflated variety with very little pungency.) Family - Solanaceous

7. Climate and Soil Climate :- The chili is a plant of tropical and sub -tropical region -It grows well in warm and humid climate and a temperature of 200 C to 250C . Chilli requires a warm and humid climate for its best growth and dry weather during the maturation of fruits . As a rained crop , it is grown in areas receiving an annual precipitation of 25-30 inches.

8. Climate and Soil Soil:- Chilli can be grown in all type of soft but the sandy - loam, clay loam and loam soil Acidic soils are not suitable for chili cultivation. The land is prepared by giving 2-3 ploughings and clod crushing after each ploughing .  Compost or FYM @ 150-200 quintals should be spread and mixed well in the soil at least 15-20 days before sowing.

9. Seed treatment Seed should not be treated with any chemical fungicides or pesticides in chilli farming trichoderma & psuedomonas sp @ 10g/ kg

10. Nursery raising chilli Fresh chilli seeds are sown in well prepared nursery beds . Although in can be sown by broadcast method in the main field . Transplanting method is preferred for better quality to survival . Seed germination time is 5 to 7 days . 40-5 days old seedlings are transplanted the actual field

12.   Sowing Time and Seed Rate In case of chilli crop, for kharif it sown in May - June and for summer crop, it is sown in the month of January .  1/2 kg seed is required for 1 hectare area. Layout & Spacing Ridges and furrow type of layout is used. Seedlings are raised on raised bed . Spacing for rained crops is 60 x 45 cm & for irrigated crops is 60 x 60 cm . 

13. Manures & Fertilizers 9 to 10 tones / hectare of FYM or compost is applied at the time of field preparation. In chilli for rained crop 50 kg N and 25 kg P should be applied 1/2 dose of N full dose of P applied at the time of transplanting. Remaining Yi dose of N applied 30 days after transplanting.  irrigated crop 100 kg N , 50kg P & 50 kg K should be applied per hectare. Fertilizers are applied in four equal doses.

15. Improved Varieties Kankan Kirti - It yields 12-14 tones per hectare of green chilli ( BSKKV, Dapoli ) Agnirekha - ( MPKV, Rahuri ) Musahvadi - 1987 at the national level. village Musahvadi, Dist. Ahmednagar (M.S.) Phule Jyoti - It is released in 1995 for kharif season ( MPKV, Rahuri ) Pbiile Sai - It retains the colour in storage for 6-7 months (MPKV, Rahuri )

16. Irrigation Chilli is grown both as rain fed and irrigated crop . First irrigation is given after the transplanting and subsequent irrigations are given 5-7 days .  Every 10 to 15 days in winter . The maintenance of uniform soil moisture is essential to prevent blossom & fruit drops . Flowers and /or flower bud abscission was increased under short day ( day length 12 hours ) and high temperature 28 °C .

17. Interculture Operations 2-3 shallow hoeing should be given to the soil to kill the weeds provide soil mulch during early stages of growth- Application of weedicides for controlling the weeds Lasso @ 1.5 litre per hectare with one hand weeding or Tok -E 25@ 2 litres per hectare with one hand weeding were effective in controlling the weeds .

18. Harvesting and Yield Harvesting Chillies which are used for vegetable purposes are generally harvested while they are still green but full grown. Chilli is highly perishable in nature, it requires more attention during harvest, should be done at the right stage of maturity. Post harvesting Tasks :- this can be done in 3 phases 1) Draying 2) Grading 3) Packing & Storage.

20. Yield The yield varies according to the system of cultivation the yield of dry chillies of rain fed crop is 200 – 400kg & irrigated crop The proportion of dry to fresh japed chillies varies from  25 -  to 40 % .
