The performance of chilli cultivars Arka Lohit, Byadgi Dabba, Chikkaballapur, KDSC-210, Byadgi Kaddi, Pusa Jwala, GPL-80, G-3 and Plant C-1 was evaluated in a field experiment conducted in Karnataka, India during the kharif season of 1999-2000 to identify a cultivar that is suitable for cultivation in the region.
