Chilli
Botanical Name – Capsicum annum L.
Family – Solanaceae
- It is known as the most valuable crop of India.
- It is used as a principle ingredient of various curries and chutneys, also used in vegetables, spices, condiments, sauces and pickles.
- Pungency in chillies is due to the active constituent “Capsaicin”, an alkaloid.
- The native home of chilli is considered to be Mexico with secondary origin of Guatemala.
- Chilli was introduced in India by the Portuguese in Goa in the middle of 17th century and since then it had rapidly spread throughout the country.
- Capsaicin has many medicinal properties, especially as an anti-cancerous agent and instant pain reliever.
- It also prevents heart diseases by dilating blood vessels.
- Major chilli growing countries are India, China, Pakistan, Indonesia, Korea, Turkey and Sri Lanka in Asia; Nigeria, Ghana, Tunisia and Egypt in Africa; Mexico, United States of America in North & Central America; Yugoslavia, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy and Hungary in Europe and Argentina, Peru and Brazil in South America.
- India is the world leader in chilli production followed by China & Pakistan. Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, UP and Rajasthan are the main chilly growing states.

Hybrid
TNAU Chilli Hybrid CO 1
Soil and Climate
Well drained loamy soil rich in organic matter with pH range 6.5-7.5
Climate
- Chilli requires a warm and humid climate growth and dry weather during the maturation of fruits.
- A temperature ranging from 20-25°C is ideal for chilli.
- In chilli fruit development adversely affected at temperatures of 37°C or more.
- Heavy rainfall leads poor fruit set and in association with high humidity leads to rotting of fruits.
High temperature & low Relative humidity increases the transpiration during flowering resulting in shedding of buds, flowers and small fruits.
- Time of sowing
- The ideal time for raising nursery is from October end to mid of November.
- Cover the nursery area with 50 % shade net and cover the sides using 40 / 50 mesh insect proof nylon net.
- Seedlings are ready for transplantation in 30-40 days (Usually in February – March).
- As a commercial crop, chilli is mainly grown in summer and winter and the seeds are sown in the nursery beds accordingly viz.
- summer crop: January- February and winter crop: July- August.
Varieties : 1.0 kg / ha.
Hybrids : 200 – 250 g / ha.
Nursery area : 100 sq.m / ha.Seed Rate
For varieties use seed rate of 200 gm/acre and 80-100 gm/acre for hybrids.
Seed Treatment
- To protect crop from various soil borne disease seed treatment is necessary. Before sowing do seed treatment with Thiram@3gm or Carbendazim@ 2 gm /kg.
- After chemical treatment, treat seed with Trichoderma @5gm/kg or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 10 gm /kg.
- Keep it in shade and use it for sowing.
- Do watering with rosecan on daily basis. Drench the nursery with Copper oxychloride @ 2.5 gm/ltr of water at 15days interval to prevent crop from damping off disease.
- To protect against wilt, sucking pest, dip roots for 15 min in Trichoderma harzianum @ 20 gm /Ltr+0.5ml/Ltr Imidacloprid before transplanting.
- Seedling inoculation with VAM supplemented with nitrogen fixing bacteria, save super phosphate by 50% along with saving of 25% nitrogen application.
For seed treatment use any one fungicide from the following:
Fungicide name | Quantity (Dosage per kg seed) |
Carbendazim | 2 gm |
Thiram | 3 gm |
Nursery Preparation:
- Form raised beds of 1 m width and convenient length. Mix sterilized cocopeat@ 300kg with 5 kg neem cake along with Azospirillum and phosphobacteria each @1kg.
- Approximately 1.2 kg of cocopeat is required for filling one pro-tray. 120 pro-trays are required for the production of 11,600 seedlings, which are required for one acre land.
- Sow the treated seed in protrays@1 seed per cell.
- Cover the seed with cocopeat and keep the trays one above the other and cover with a polythene sheet till germination starts.
- After sowing of seeds in nursery, cover bed with 400 mesh nylon net or thin white cloth.
- It helps to protect seedlings from pest-disease attack.
- After 6 days place the protrays with germinated seedlings individually on the raised beds inside the shade net.
- Water with rose can everyday upto seed germination. Drench with 19:19:19 @ 0.5% (5gm/Ltr) at 18 days after sowing.
Transplantation in Field: - After 30-40 days, seedlings are ready for transplantation.
- For transplantation 6-8 week old or 15-20 cm height seedlings are selected.
- Carry out ploughing for 2-3 times and clod crushing after each ploughing.
- Add compost or Farm Yard Manure @150-200 qtl/acre and mix well in the soil 15-20 days before sowing.
- Form ridges and furrows at spacing of 60 cm. Apply 0.8 kg/acre of Azospirillum and 0.8 kg/acre of Phosphobacteria by mixing with 20 kg of FYM.
- Do not cultivate Tomato and Chilly crop in same field or in nearby field, as pest and diseases are similar. Also spread anthracnose and bacterial disease.
- When it is intercropped with onion and coriander, it gives additional income also helps in controlling weed population.
- For nematodes control, take onion, garlic or merry gold as intercrop.
Spacing
Use row to row spacing of 75 cm and plant to plant spacing of 45 cm.
Method of sowing
Transplantation method is used.
- Apply Pendimethalin @1ltr/acre or Fluchloralin @800ml/acre as pre-emergence herbicide followed by hand weeding once 30 days after planting.
- Carryout first weeding operation after 25 days of planting.
- Depending upon intensity, repeat weeding and keep field free of weeds.
- It cant withstand heavy moisture so apply irrigation only when needed.
- Heavy irrigation causes lanky vegetative growth and flower drop.
- Number of irrigation and interval of irrigation depend on soil and climatic condition.
- If plant show dropping at 4 pm , it is indication of plant needed irrigation.
- Flowering and fruit development are most critical stages of water requirement.
- Stagnation of water should not be allowed in nursery and field as it causes fungal infection.
Layout and Planting for Drip irrigation and Fertigation
- Apply FYM @ 25 t / ha as basal before last ploughing.

- Apply 75 % total recommended dose of superphosphate i.e. 375 kg / ha as basal.
- Install the drip irrigation with main , sub main pipes and place lateral tubes at an interval of 1.5 m.
- Place the drippers in lateral tubes at an interval of 60 cm and 50 cm spacing with 4 LPH and 3.5 LPH capacities respectively.
- Form raised beds of 120 cm width at an interval of 30 cm and place the laterals at the centre of each bed.
- Before planting wet the beds using drip system for 8-12 hrs.
- Planting to be done at a spacing of 90 x 60 x 45 cm in the paired row system, using ropes marked at 60 cm spacing.
- Spray Pendimethalin 1.0 kg a.i. / ha or Fluchloralin 1.0 kg a.i / ha as pre-emergence herbicide at 3rd day after planting.

Symptoms-
- The branches and leaves get dried and black spots are formed on infected parts.
- Spots are usually circular, water-soaked and sunken with black margins.
- The fruits with many spots drop off prematurely resulting in heavy loss of yield.
- The disease spreads rapidly with blowing wind, rains during rainy season. Partially affected plants bear fruits which are few and of low quality.
Management-
