Chillies, though classified as a minor crop under condiments and spices, form one of the most valuable crops in the Madras Presidency as it is a daily necessity with both the rich and poor alike. The crop with its wide-spread cultivation and the varied uses in an Indian house-hold leads one to think that it is in- digenous, but on the other hand it is an introduced one having its home in South America. It is cultivated as an irrigated crop in the south and as a rain-fed crop in the north of the presidency. Guntur is one of the important chilli centres in the Circars. The present article is mainly confined to the cultivation of the chilli-crop in the Guntur District.
