Morphological Characteristics of Chili Pepper Genotypes in Hill Conditions, Nepal

March 2025 to August 2025, ten chili pepper genotypes were evaluated for yield performance at a research farm in Kirtipur, Nepal. The study was conducted by Spriya Adhikari and published on figshare in April 2026. The genotypes, including Nepa Hot and Pusa Jwala, were assessed in an open field using a Randomized Complete Block Design.

Use Cases

• Compare yield performance among chili pepper genotypes based on the described field trial.
• Assess morphological characteristics like plant size, leaf area, and collar diameter for hill condition adaptability.
• Select candidate genotypes for Farmer Field Trials (FFT) and varietal release programs based on the evaluation results.

Strengths

• Evaluates ten distinct chili pepper genotypes, providing comparative data.
• Study conducted using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications, suggesting a structured experimental approach.
• Specific temporal coverage from March to August 2025 and geographic focus on Kirtipur, Nepal.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is 10.9 KB, indicating a very limited scope and likely small number of observations.
