A field experiment was carried out to study the vegetative growth and yield performance of Chilli Hybrids (Capsicum annuum L.)-All India Co- ordinated Vegetable Improvement Project (AICVIP) hybrid trials (IET, AVT-I AND AVT-II) from 2012 to 2014 at the Department of Vegetable Crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications, which included the seeds of the Chilli hybrids (IET, AVT-I and AVT-II) entries were chosen for this study. The chilli genotypes were transplanted with care in the field during the year 2012 to 2014 at the spacing of 60cm x 50cm. Significant differences were observed among the genotypes for growth and yield parameters. Among the entries tested (IET), the highest fruit yield (259.7 q/ha) was recorded in 2014/CHILHYB-2 followed by 2014/CHILHYB-4 (234.5 q/ha), the results revealed that (AVT-I) the highest fruit yield (243.1 q/ha) was recorded in 2013/CHILHYB-6 followed by 2013/CHILHYB-7 (238.6 q/ha). Among the entries tested (AVT-II), the highest fruit yield (251.9 q/ha) was recorded in 2012/CHILHYB-1 followed by 012/CHILHYB-3 (227.6 q/ha).
