Abstract

Chilli is best suited to sandy loam and clay loam with proper drainage. India produces about 1.298 mt of chillies from an area of 0.806 mha with average productivity of 1611 kg ha-1. The alluvial soils of the Indo-Gangetic plains of Varanasi are grouped under Inceptisols (Typic Ustocherpts). Majority of the farmers are growing chilli as a cash crop to reap higher economic returns.
