Abstract:
An experinient was conducted at the experimental field of Sher-e-E3angla
Agricultural University during rabi, 2013-2014 with ten chilli (C.'apsicwn
frulescens L.) genotypes oftlifferent sources. It was laid out in randomized
complete block design with three replications and four environments, to
find out genotype or genotypes with high mean yield and good adaptation
to different environments and assessment of the genotype and environment
effect on chilli. Data were collected on several inorpho-physiological yield
contributing parameters. The Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative
Interaction (AMMI) statistical model was used to describe Genotype x
Environment Interaction (GFil) and adaptation to certain environments. The
combined analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated significant differences
between genotypes and environments as main effects. GE! both linear and
non- linear components were highly significant for most of the parameters
except number of seeds per fruit and hundred seed weight. Env-3 and Env-4
were poor and Env- I and Env-2 were found to he rich and Iävorable for
chilli production. Where, Env-2 was found highly favorable for chilli
production. The stable genotypes found were DI3P 14 50 (China). E3D-2059
and J3ogura Jan, exhibited intermediate mean yield and could he adopted
for general cultivation. Kalo Dhawna morich. [logurar Lomba Morich and
Bullet exhibited coniparativelv higher mean yield but were unstable across
the environments and can be recommended to cultivate in rich
environments.
