INFLUENCE OF SEASON ON YIELD AND QUALITY ATTRIBUTES OF SEED IN CHILLI (Capsicum annum L.)

Abstract

                                The number of seed per fruit was more in rabi that kharif. Among the pickings the number of seed per fruit was higher in third and first pickings respectively in rabi and kharif. The recovery of large size seed (G1) was more in kharif than rabi. Among pickings the highest recovery of G1 was from the third picking and small size seed (G3) was from last picking. The mean weight of seed obtained from the rabi season was higher than krarif. Seeds from the first picking recorded the maximum weight and that from last picking was minimum. The influence of season on germination was significant only in G1. In general earlier pickings recorded higher germination than those from later pickings.
