Four varieties of Chilli, Guntur hope, Bullet, Demon and Pusa Jwala showed wide differences in their genotypic constituents reflected by morphological status. Major characters of growth and yield such as plant height, number of branches/plant, number of fruits/plant, individual fruit weight, fruit length, fruit width, yield/ha were influenced by cultivars. Out of the four cultivars, Guntur Hope resulted the best performance in almost all the parameters like plant height (74.8 cm), number of fruits/plant (134.33) and total yield (72.47 q/ha). Cultivar Bullet produced the highest fruit width (1.97 cm) and fruit weight (3.2 gm) but failed to have any impact on total yield due to production of minimum fruit number/plant (79) and lesser fruit length (5.4 cm).
