In an experiment on green chilli, significant varietal differences were noticed regarding root parameters, flowering and yield. Highest yield (114.51 q/ha in summer and 125.70 q/ha in kharif) was seen in Nagavi with maximum root weight. Kadrolli was the lowest yielder but recorded maximum root length. FLowering was early in pusa Jwala. Highest N application (250 kg/ha) delayed 50 per cent flowering but recorded maximum yield (114.51 q/ha in summer and 125.70 in kharif) with highest root length and root weight. Interaction treatments were non significant.
