| Abstract | Chili plays integral part in different culture. It is cultivated as commercial and in backyards for spices, vegetables, ornamental and medicinal purposes. In Bhutan chili (Capsicum spp.) is an important crop and cultivated across the country. Twenty chili varieties that are cultivated in Bhutan were collected from different chili growing regions to evaluate morphological characteristics at Maejo University, Chiang Mai Thailand. The experiment was conducted under 50% shade net in completely randomized design with five replications. The results showed significant difference among the varieties, earliest flowering were recorded from 23 to 42 days in 15 varieties and late flowering in 67 days in 'Dhallay' variety. The mean plant height, canopy, and stem diameter were 76.3?18.2 cm, 42.7?7.6 cm and 7.5?3.1 mm and mean fruit length, width and weight were 9.8?4.4 cm, 2.1?0.7 cm and 11.1?9.6 g respectively. The varieties 'Tsakaling' and 'Indian Fat' had purple corolla colour which indicates Capsicum pubescens species. Geographical group analysis showed that varieties introduced from Japan had difference in characters then the Bhutanese landrace varieties accept in leaf length, plant height, stem diameter and flowering days. The results of morphological characterestics from this study will useful for chilli genetic diversity conservation and plant breeding program. |
