Summary

Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.), with a chromosome number of 2n = 24, belongs to the genus Capsicum within the family Solanaceae. It is widely used worldwide as a spice, garnish, and natural colourant, and represents one of the high-value commercial crops in the country. During the 2024-2025 rabi season, a field experiment was carried out at the AICRP on Vegetable Crops research farm, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), Bhubaneswar. The study used a split-plot design with two replications, with three plant spacings—S1 (70 × 40 cm), S2 (50 × 50 cm), and S3 (50 × 30 cm)—and five fertilizer levels—F1 (150:75:75), F2 (100:25:50), F3 (120:80:80), F4 (90:45:45), and F5 (100:100:100 NPK kg ha⁻¹). The findings showed that spacing had a significant impact on both growth and yield, w
