.Abstract
Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important spice-cumvegetable
crop of the family Solanaceae. India is the
largest producer, consumer and exporter of chillies in
the world. Generally, the transplanting of chilli is done
in February-March in North Indian plains and crop ends
by October-November. However, there are some areas
in Punjab where the chilli crop is transplanted in mid
November under low tunnels to get early crop and this
crop ends in June which is followed by late paddy
varieties/Basmati crop. Thus, two crops in a rotation is
practiced by transplanting chilli under low tunnel. The
major bottleneck in this low tunnel cultivation is nonavailability
of suitable variety/hybrid. Therefore
