Abstract

The performance of 25 chilli (16 exotic and 9 local) genotypes
for yield and associated traits and reaction to field diseases
was assessed at the National Crops Resources Research
Institute (NaCRRI)- Namulonge from June-November, 2009.
Total and marketable yields ranged from 1.9-9.9 t/ha and 0.97.6
t/ha, respectively. Genotype 28, 11, 4 and 14 gave the highest
yields of 9.9, 9.1, 7.7 and 7.6 t/ha, respectively. The rest of the
genotypes had yields ranging from 1.9 to 7.2 t/ha. Leaf spots
and virus were the most prominent diseases. Some genotypes,
especially 4, 12 and 22 appeared resistant to both Coaenophora
and Phytophthora blights.
