The present study was undertaken with ‘Parbhani Tejas’ variety of chilli. This Solanaceous vegetable was cultivated in order to observe the vegetative growth parameters like height of plant, spread of plant during monsoon and summer season of 2000 to 2001 was measured. The vegetable was sprayed with four types of growth hormones and two types of fertilizers and control (water-spray), twice i.e. 25 days and 50 days after transplanting. Results regarding this clearly showed that in monsoon season-Chilli plant foliage spread with NAA, CCC, GA urea showed significantly more ascorbic acid content in green Chilli fruits than other treatments. The lowest ascorbic acid content was recorded 197.67 mg./100g. in green matured Chilli fruits of ether treatments followed by control and SSP, respectively.

The present study was undertaken with ‘Parbhani Tejas’ variety of chilli. This Solanaceous vegetable was cultivated in order to observe the vegetative growth parameters like height of plant, spread of plant during monsoon and summer season of 2000 to 2001 was measured. The vegetable was sprayed with four types of growth hormones and two types of fertilizers and control (water-spray), twice i.e. 25 days and 50 days after transplanting. Results regarding this clearly showed that in monsoon season-Chilli plant foliage spread with NAA, CCC, GA urea showed significantly more ascorbic acid content in green Chilli fruits than other treatments. The lowest ascorbic acid content was recorded 197.67 mg./100g. in green matured Chilli fruits of ether treatments followed by control and SSP, respectively.
